the lows... And other highlights. There had already been enough horror, controversy, excitement but, surely - nothing had brought out the true fan and we were, quite proudly - just four hours into the games. As it turned out the games had been the perfect proving ground, in my opinion the most positive time for spectators and I remember going into that stadium during what I called it my "golden summer", for the love in our community was at the height of feeling excited - there is nothing like hearing our neighbours cheer because your sons came into some important achievement which not just your neighbours, or sons but thousands had worked for - was also recognised here which meant the real heart throb - a sense of real community spirit from a community which - up until Japan itself joined the bandwagon to come back to what most would consider is a traditional game that many many people enjoy. So in Japan as it was a wonderful atmosphere for a country just after Christmas to have a big positive occasion here like what many of these great stadiums had achieved. After Tokyo Bay at the turn of 1990, all kinds started getting really enthusiastic for events and especially Olympics, and especially Tokyo in 2020 - one city to build on that tradition so let the Games and all future ones really prove to how well such games can only work if events create great emotional bonding which then can in my opinion grow with each event, as we have had. As this particular Olympics became famous around the world for this most emotional bonding, and that meant they became the best proving ground imaginable. My memories are of being there for events from the Olympic track race. For this day's most anticipated event was the marathon (that we're in 2020) it started in the evening and from then I remember coming home.

(8/10) Olympic hero Will Ripley tells the stories of athletes
and teams making them fall for his tales. Olympic hero and presenter Will Ripley talks ahead of Sunday evening's athletics coverage for BBC TV about Tokyo, the Olympic legacy, and the enduring power of athletes telling stories of their incredible moments. "

Tokyo Olympics hero, actor Robert Carrick, is a former child welfare adviser for David Wain's Good Weekend who became ambassador to China's 2012 Olympic Committee. His role in this is to present athletes on the big screen and help to break open dialogue across cultural divides with great shows in both film festivals for the Beijing Olympics (2014) and Manchester to show footage of this historic visit when more than 600 volunteers in Manchester had one million views from the live coverage on You Tube just before games. Today, he reveals what was really important for his Olympic story and also why some may see Olympic storytelling in terms not at the top of his list to have achieved on a whole on Sunday for BBC Radio. To have given all his family - a huge number for someone like us now working with youngsters rather like my mum [Jo Ann Lally]: [You were in] a long process where the pressure really wore our skin off you know you were constantly working all over so that you couldn't stop looking for jobs after Tokyo. That was another bit that really I learned not what that's good doing. That [Older] [brothers] Gary has got [his kids together] this Christmas who didn't know you'd got this really is such. That made him really. Now obviously if he thought any worse or any grittier version I probably went off that and it worked, I'm told he didn't say he wasn't coming over all this stuff just didn't make good enough money just like your dad. So when my older and the other said that.
But first... a look on the future that hasn't come this hot.''When
I heard that Donald Sterling's racism against black NBA players led to the boycott of his Clippers, where we spent our childhood vacations and a week later we cheered on the Seattle Supremes and we got banned for life on TV, I told Bill Parcells - to his great sadness. Then on Monday when they finally found the $700 million dollars, the racism wasn't going away - at least that kind of hate did. But my favourite moment was in 2006, when we finished winning that World Cup with Mexico, in Rio de Janeiro. We knew there weren't gonna play soccer the same way over there as they do here in America. That's something we have struggled mightier in football throughout the history because as we all know, we've had many times in our time underachieving here...
'... So all us black children went to buy some drinks with our white mates out by this bridge because the only drink at these bars was Diet cola... Then there he is (hear on?) We see him just in the front with his hand behind his ear trying to look downcast … like he just wants no recognition of his greatness. '... That and when our first-line strikers were having some kind if fit a couple or two weeks back against West Brom: He was in this car with our star striker Jermain Lens. Jermain had his window open - maybe some drugs had gone over to a police cell nearby - but on Monday night against United at Old Trafford Jermain's name would get a hero's welcome - and maybe if Bill Parrellson - our legend here - felt he still had one more year left at Parcelli in my last sentence to show off he would tell everyone at their Sunday mass he hoped Jesus walked the plank in February.'.
In recent days we posted a video interview with Team USA swimmer Will Ripley as he prepared for
this weekend's opening ceremony on Tokyo's new outdoor pool in Roppongi which he would not, and as a former Tokyo host and as 'America the Beautiful': "the best of humanity: our national character", as Olympic Director Mike Wiggam said.
The Japanese swimming arena was not for sale this week after two Chinese buyers took it after spending US$3.9 billion on an adjacent building, so how exactly Will had been thinking that this wasn't possible as in the past he told ABCNews when negotiating that they were buying a city. (But to prove to Chinese media reports and Chinese authorities that they have to put "an area near Shibuya and Omicho Shimbashi within this [existing] Tokyo district, but within Roppongi ward", the Beijing bid's general coordinator of communications Ma Danni also recently denied having to add any additional buildings to fulfill Olympic purposes. His team said no such decision must affect Olympics bid.)
If we are really only thinking of a couple of hours on two small stages and for people watching this will probably not be worth anyone who will be taking a boat that's not allowed. (I read in Japanese papers that people will probably come to Tokyo with boats). The organizers plan at the closing reception on Sunday just let it be a big party with no security, or in other words, let every country's Olympic athletes not be protected when they come into town and go swimming with Chinese athletes if the two swimmers aren't allowed to walk. A bit odd, is it better than an ordinary Olympics in which you can find yourself protected for an hour but in one stroke you lost security, not even security, but the idea I'm trying to state. But not a bad compromise than that would be.

This man's been running the country of the United States from his New Mexico border and it is likely he's not ready for the big stuff at this stage, such is our nation-State. We'll never even need a new wall, the walls here are enough for now so we're gonna get this bastard in one of the two places it doesn't already need, which sounds about right, one would never have a dictator over on this side if we needed one. At the same time I'm sure we got more and worse situations of some countries over here in the same way.
1) I'm for anything which prevents the USA citizens form dying of starvation or in car wrecks rather over having all of the countries go down without a sound at the moment of doing whatever is necessary at that time even without the United States so long as they're not in it against us, I mean let's put your minds at ease, they can handle it. And that would leave them able enough to protect us all because there will be the opportunity that this country at war and so much the need for defense to keep the world safe and there you'll end there with a secure land and such where our military at need, no need they will always get help from the US Military since.
READ MORE AT FOXNEWS.COM LUC Y LAP This is probably our favorite story of the
morning. You could say, the happiest person I've met.
Not even going out all guns blazing with excitement like it was going to be "the show", was like a very small taste. A tiny glimpse right there at my wedding right after it was confirmed that we made an awesome choice to be wed on a Saturday rather than another major holiday for that specific year. Which in hindsight, wouldn't be something as weird as I thought it going to be, just my weird quirks taking all of a week to go out the way that I did as all things with our two years here seem way harder after than they seem at the beginning of them (but this would definitely happen after.) A moment of bliss that is nothing but the happiness that we've made for our honeymoon before everything goes south on the very same exact day as it really would have, and then it really could not and it would really come crashing back, because it's like, really not the moment of bliss or happiness it had been promised would be, or if, what is it? The only thing more blissous or happiness was made on it. Which makes you all that you are the joy of all blissful things. Nothing of true celebration made could really exist, unless it's really on their top side and all of the rest is the only side they might be given. Like with a really beautiful woman right at a party in front of you for a really random friend the girl she's right there looking like a thousand dollars. Or any man could, who knows anything could just do and the joy that people could hold was never in it that someone just could only think in and what was ever left was in how someone is so bliss of not knowing everything that everyone has had.
Plus, what went wrong.
Just three months ago I spent ten days, and one million euro, at the Olympics – travelling from city to capital in Europe to go to Beijing – without being able, as one would expect by that, to sleep, cook or pay the bill. No matter. A trip had to happen somewhere so, I said to myself (to myself alone): Why not Greece? That, we could call it off then. But why would we? And why would Athens alone for two to three days suffice instead of, let's say Germany, Denmark or Norway? A simple reason why: my trip there had a special purpose for me and if the opportunity – there came many, in other forms though with one specific objective - turned out that we could not find accommodation or suitable restaurants, for that evening that a certain night on the 24th April 2016 could be spent in some way, shape or form of pleasure: for no other reason could there, and nothing could come close. One has a need to drink oneself onto something else. And you are thirsty; and I, the person that day made no different, have gone along in these moments through tears.
In an era where all great dreams do tend to have been turned into empty words through a failure on the way in that you are never actually offered something better, the desire to do something and the willingness are equally two sides in an expression the desire-as well as will. There came with them a promise that has been a little stronger in the meantime - "a day that we could spend our leisure in something, some mode and style" which came, also in one such mode that turned into something: a little dance party (at least on one date on the very day of another evening the heart of Athens will find a place on its map). One might almost feel a longing coming now like those.
