It's officially confirmed by IHF that Germany gets 10-0 walkover over Cape Verde as this team won't be allowed to play tomorrow due to less number of "healthy" players.

 

@Wumo this match surely won't be count, right?

Correct. Any matches that get cancelled/walkover for a team will not be counted in the prediction contest.

The Hungarian team was prepared for this and deliberately picked players against them who already had COVID last year and are (hopefully) immune to the disease. Still, the Hungarians are requesting IHF to immediately tell them who are the two players who tested positive after the match. Hopefully this won't be the end for us as well if COVID spread to the Hungarian team...

I wonder if the IOC is taking notes...

Hopefully, but with every next day I'm more worried that Games will not happen and we will have to wait to 2024 for next Games, because under current scenario Beijing Games will not happen either if Tokyo will be cancelled. We probably will somehow survive this but I'm very sorry for athletes who prepared 5 years for nothing and especially to these athletes who will not have another chance for Olympic medal as will retire this year.
