Directly hitting the Tokyo Olympics丨"Appointment Battle": Speed ​​Competition of Media Reporters

Since the start of the Olympic Games, each competition and each interview must be registered on a mobile phone application designated by the Olympic Organizing Committee at least 24 hours in advance to make an appointment. Make an appointment on the software for your interview needs and the venue projects you want to go to after 24 hours, and whether the appointment can be successful depends on the "lower point and higher point". The probability of a successful appointment is about 50%, depending on whether it is a high-demand event, the size of the venue, the number of people who make an appointment, and the participation of athletes from various countries. Unlike the previous Olympics, reporters not only have to race against news, but also for interview appointments. Colleagues not only have to compete for timeliness and interview positions, but also for appointments. Even some interview appointments require tickets before they can enter.

The daily interview schedule is very hurried, basically shuttle between the stadium, the news center and the media hotel. There will also be some time delays on the way to the interview. From the media hotel to the press center and then to the venues, you have to transfer from the IBC to the media bus. There are so many and complicated events in the Olympics. You have to understand a little bit about each item. In addition, in terms of language, when communication is difficult to understand, it can only be physical actions. The most suitable way for me to communicate in terms of language is "Don't talk if you can." Coupled with the cumbersome process of epidemic prevention, so this Olympic Games is still more difficult.

did not make a reservation for important events, sometimes reporters had to bite the bullet and try their luck on the court. In order to allow the news to meet with readers as soon as possible, the time waiting for the bus at the IBC transfer station becomes the time for reporters to catch up with the article. The physical fatigue can be tolerated, and the mental fatigue can be overcome. I hope that there will be no more tedious things to consume these "old rememberers" in the Olympics.
