Olympian1010 7,483 Posted March 17, 2020 #1342 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I would totally be okay with 2022. That’d be an epic year. 2 Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games, and Asian Games. Plus, I’ve never lived in a time where both Olympics have taken place in a single year, so that’d be really special for me. I also think it gives the world ample time to cover recover from corona, and for the global economy to pick back up. For a business standpoint, this would be a great decision. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

But what if it’s contained in May, it’s still possible. I've been saying that the right move is to wait until May to make that decision. But there needs to be a backup plan and it seems like the IOC and the organizers aren't even considering that.

Even if we beat the corona within the next few months, I would think that it would have major impact on the quality when more and more athletes are forced to improvise with lockdowns in force. Would the organizers and the IOC rather have a compromised Olympics this summer or have to scramble and reset to hold it in 2022? Tough to figure what decision they would make given all the logistical hurdles they would have to deal with Paris 2024 competition schedule by Day Paris 2024 competition schedule by Sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget the World Cup. How convenient it would be for the IOC that's not being held in its usual window during the summer and instead potentially leaves those months wide open for the Olympics to be held Paris 2024 competition schedule by Day Paris 2024 competition schedule by Sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think we should wait until May, but this is easily the second best option. Easier said than done. There are a ton of logistical hurdles they'll have to overcome to make that happen and my fear is that they're putting all of their eggs into one basket trying to make this summer work where it may be out of their control. I'll hold out hope until the day the IOC makes the announcement. I just hope should it come to the point that they can't hold the Olympics that they've at least attempted to come up with a backup plan Olympian1010 1 Paris 2024 competition schedule by Day Paris 2024 competition schedule by Sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
