This event is prime example why the Olympics should be either postponed or cancelled soon IF the COVID situation won't get more manageable in the next couple of months. It would take a miracle for the Olympics not turn into a clusterfuck under these circumstances.

Cancelling half a year before would be way too drastic, especially considering that close to 1/4 of countries has started rolling out vaccines. The Olympics will without doubt need to do a lot of work to secure the bubbles of the athletes and helping athletes in especially Africa and small and/or poor countries would be a major boost as well.

Sure, cancelling half a year in advance could be an economic solution, but in other ways it would not be the right way.

Not much of a surprise that IHF go for the money, but that should have been Greenland's spot!

For a sporting fan on this forum, you are really pushing and hoping the OG are cancelled...

I don't like putting people in unnecessary danger for our entertainment. I also don't like the idea of an Olympics where a large number of top athletes can be withdrawn because of a virus. The Olympics should either go on the same way as used to be (just maybe without spectators) or if that's not possible, it should take a break like it did during the world wars. The Games is one of the largest events in the world with 10,000 athletes, I am not sure if you realize how hard it is to organize such an event when COVID isn't over yet.

No fans should be a certain, no one has problem with that. We are watching all sports without fans for a year now.

 

Other than that, they will take every precaution. It's the biggest event, which the whole World will be watching in one of the most safety obsessed places. Do you really think they would do nothing to make the event go safely and as planned. It will probably be safer there, than on the athletes everyday life in their own countries. Plus everyone has their own will, if they fear going, they won't go... 

 

Plus, you are only speculating of "top athletes withdrawn because of a virus". You don't know, if that will happen and i will take that chance a thousand times, than to cancel everything. There is no Olympics, where every top athletes has always participated either way. You know, because of qualification restrictions, because of injuries, because of bans, because of outside political shenanigans' like the Russia situation. If someone is unfortunately pulled out, because of Covid, why should it be any different, than if he had any other injury or decease.

If someone breaks their leg, that usually doesn't spread to 10-20 other athletes. And unlike other diseases before, COVID is everywhere, as is the case in a worldwide pandemic. And unlike in national leagues, you can't postpone a match or a final for weeks if a team or many athletes get unlucky, which they did even under a strict bubble in some cases.

      The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.

      The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.

      The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR

      That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird

      So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,

      The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.

      I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
