Hosts always find organizing an Olympics far more difficult than everyone else made it look. Japan, however, perhaps has a good excuse for what appears, from a distance, uncharacteristic chaos. Of course, they face circumstances no one envisioned. They’re finding even the simple things have gone awry. Taking a leaf from Lotto Agent attendees were originally to comprise of ticket lottery winners. Unfortunate it transpires that wasn’t the best lottery to play and still isn’t.

In ancient times, Olympic champions received a crown of olive leaves to mark their victories. These came from a tree near the temple of Zeus. Today the winners get medals for their efforts. In 1896, at the first Olympic Games in Athens,, top placers received silver medals since, at the time, silver was more sought after than gold. The second place winners received copper medals.

In June, the IOC will make the final decision regarding the host of the winter edition in 2026. Stockholm-Åre is the bookies’ favorite, but Milan-Cortina d’Amparezzo has a good record. Italy's bid might also be a good bet on the 2026 Winter Olympics host.

If you like to bet on sports in Russia on Bet365 the International Olympic Committee’s decision not to ban all Russian participation in the 2016 Rio Olympics will be warmly welcomed, but unfortunately the IOC’s fudging of the issue leaves it looking powerless, pathetic and just as deserving of scorn as FIFA. Competitive by our […]

The Athletics doping scandal that has seen Russia banned from track and field events has hung a bit of a pall over the 2016 Rio Olympics. In a similar way to the ridiculously childish boycotts by the Cold War enemies back in the 1980s there will be a noticeable gap in the competition. Every Olympics […]

More about Adam Silver and his realizations on legalized gambling. As the only sports commissioner in American professional sports to openly support legalized sports betting, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver sees himself more “pro-realist” than “pro-gambling.” But it seems as though his words are defining how others view him. Now anywhere he appears, people will refer […]
