$25k fam?



After accomodations a couple grand is probably all you need. Im thinking $5k for a good time. Its not just the events but Olympic village and the atmosphere.

Nah, $25-30k has me thinking your calculations are off. That's a ridiculous amount of spending for one trip.

I'm sure the tickets for the events will be hicked for Tokyo. It was insane how many tickets were in the 30-40 dollar range. About 3 million tickets iirc. So many of the evnts had great seats, like within the first 5-10 rows for about 90 bucks.

1k for airfare, $150-$200 per night for hotel (assuming you don't stay in one of those pods) x 16 -> you're up to $4k. I have no idea how much tickets to the events cost. Food and other costs will add up quickly.

Dawg the first thing I said was "after accomodations".

Just save up 30 Stacks and you'll be good

^ I could see mizuno throwing money at him.. but he'll get a ton of money from his country for international meets

but he could hit the world cup events and make serious cash, since he can swim a bunch of events.. and is good short course (he holds the NCAA records by a bit in the 100 and 200 flys).. NCAA they swim short course yards, the world cup events are short course meters (because they're mostly held in Europe)

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- The 15-year-old daughter of Olympic sprinter Tyson Gay has been fatally shot in Kentucky, the athlete's agent and authorities said Sunday.

Trinity Gay died at the University of Kentucky Medical Center, the coroner's office for Fayette County said in a statement. The athlete's agent, Mark Wetmore, confirmed in a text message to The Associated Press that Gay's daughter had died.

Lexington police said in a statement that officers went to the parking lot of a restaurant near the University of Kentucky campus in Lexington about 4 a.m. Sunday after witnesses reported gunfire had been exchanged between two vehicles. Officers located one of the vehicles and stopped two people for questioning, the statement added.

Police spokeswoman Brenna Angel said police don't believe Trinity Gay was in either of the vehicles involved.

Trinity Gay was a sprinter at Lafayette High in Lexington and finished fourth in the 100 meters and fifth in the 200 meters at the state Class 3A high school track meet in May, records show. She also ran on a 4x200 relay team that finished fourth. Her father also ran at Lafayette and still holds the state record in the 100 set in 2001.

The police statement didn't identify Trinity Gay by name, saying a juvenile who was struck at the scene was taken by private vehicle to the UK Hospital and later pronounced dead.

Police were still searching for the second vehicle, police said, adding they are continuing to investigate.

A tweet from Kentucky High School Athletic Association commissioner Julian Tackett said he was stunned by the death: "Shocked to hear of death of Trinity Gay. A life of such potential cut so tragically short. Sympathies to Tyson and entire family."

Tyson Gay has competed in the past three Summer Olympics. He was part of a team that won a silver medal in the 4x100-meter relay at the 2012 London Games, although that medal was ultimately stripped after Gay tested positive for steroids in 2013.
