I think the Olympics will only take place if they develop a vaccine for COVID. I don’t know the timetable for that though

I hope they are not so "stupid" to pretend an effective vaccine is made worldwide available by next year...

 

to me, the point is just looking at how the pandemic develops in the next northern emisphere winter...if there are no major cases all around or if we just find an effective medicine rather than a vaccine, why to waste all that was built?

 

as extreme measures, I only see some restrictions to foreign visitors (of course they should be refunded in full, if they lose the chance to travel to JPN), reselling tickets within the local residents only (with heavy price drop, if needed) and a 4-week quarantine for athletes and officials before the beginning of the Games...

 

actually, imho, under these conditions, they could even hold the Games tomorrow...

The current situation is what matters.  What will matter is the situation come July.  Beyond just the fate of the Olympics, for the sake of the world let's hope it starts to get better sooner rather than later.

 

I'm cautiously optimistic we'll have an Olympics, somehow some what.  Too much political capital on the line for the country and the city to let it fail again

      It comes down to what is taught in Poland about the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Union of Lublin isn't shown as unfavorable for Lithuania as it really was. A lot of the southern territories of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was "given" to Poland but it was actually stolen by Poles, the Polish language overpowered the Lithuanian one among the elites, the common coin was Polish-based. At one point, the PLC starts to get treated like one big country, with Vilnus as one of the major cities of Poland. The Vilnius University shown as an important Polish university, Mickiewicz calling Lithuania his home while writing in Polish, etc. The whole stuff after the World War One is barely touched in the high school when barely anyone cares about history anyway, I guess most people don't even know it. With this lack of the knowledge, Vilnus is one of the lost Polish cities, just like Lviv. The current animosities are down to the early 2010s and Grybauskaitė being the president of Lithuania - when there was the increase of the Lithuanian subjects taught in the Polish schools, troubles with Polish surnames, places' and streets' names. The Polish hooligans were also quick to pick it up. To be honest, Lithuania isn't looked down at but people don't understand why Lithuania has the right not to like Poland.

      Maciusiak is a budget option for the 'lean years' that are set to kick in. This was planned for many years once Stoch, Kubacki & Żyła retire (or become too old to have good results). We don't have any juniors and the development has been screwed for many seasons now. Results should get even worse especially if Wąsek suddenly drops off w/o Thurnbichler (as he was the only one who clearly profited under TT's coaching).

      Sory  my mistake "99% has no problems" should be.  Apologize for this mistake. Nobody in Poland even talk about this kind of issue.
