Tokyo Summer Olympic Games 2020 News

Really not...the fact that Italy COULD be sanctioned due to the law's technicalities was well known for a while, which is quite different than breaking the news that Italy IS sanctioned and will compete under IOC flag.

Well, considering the fact I state that current Polish government is nazi, you're quite close. Still, Duda has nothing to "führen", it's all in the hands of another short man in the history of national socialism.

The BOA know how people won't support priority vaccination.

 

'They have written to all 206 national Olympic committees asking them to ‘actively engage with their respective governments’ on their vaccine roll-out schemes and ‘report back to the IOC in early February’.'

 

The IOC is wasting time if they think that is saving the games.

Yeah, at best the IOC needs to hope that the vaccine is open to the general public ASAP. Which could be the case for many major nations by summer.

Those 10-15 nations will likely be the largest delegations, that alone would be 40-50% of the athletes.

With how the EU is vaccinating I wouldn't bank on the EU being able to vaccinate many athletes by then.

 

The countries most ahead atm include some fairly small delegations

I'm here, but with 200 journalists I might not get through the queue again.
