There will be a LOT of furious people over this. The article literally says they want 2032.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDOG 2,267 Posted January 22, 2021 #1635 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Yeah, IOC will be left almost bankrupt with this. They will have their "vendetta" with Japan in some way. Monzanator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone give me some quotes from the article (that isn't the first paragraph)? Hopefully this helps: “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

I am more worried about the NFs who rely on Olympic money, especially those who asked for an advance loan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also feel bad for the baseball and karate athletes who will not live their Olympic dream... Maybe they will add them into 2024 as a conciliation prize. 30 minutes ago, Monzanator said: If Japan cancels these games they will have plenty of backlash and don't stand a chance to host another Games for the next 50 years at least IMO.

Orangehair43 191 Posted January 22, 2021 #1640 Share Posted January 22, 2021 The key thing will be how Japan reports it in the coming days- do they announce it or deny it or ignore the reports. Should have postponed to 2022 and then tried to get 2024 to move to 2026 and 2028 to 2030. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
