Sport Events Cancelled due to Coronavirus Outbreak

Not really. You can call the standings at the cancellation point final.

 

Mass hysteria has more power than common sense these days. The Spanish influenza in 1918-19 didn't cause the cancellation of Indianapolis 500 or the baseball season back in USA and it was far bigger than the current coronavirus outbreak :dunno:

 

Polish ice hockey league will probably play the semi-finals that are due to start on Saturday behind closed doors and nobody thinks about cancelling the entire season.

The Spanish flu didn't cause that many mass cancellations, correct. If it did, we might have been a lot less familiar with it nowadays since it might have caused way less damage. 

 

Cancelling events now is, sadly, simply the only sane way to go. If and how organizers of leagues determine champions now is a different matter.

Hiding your head in the sand and pretending that solves the problem isn't sane by any means. The anti-vaccination movement has done more damage than anything else to prevent learning from the past pandemic disease outbreaks. Not to mention the only thing humanity leans from history is that it doesn't learn from the history.

 

Italy has had one of the lowest vaccination rates in Europe before coronavirus and now it's the most affected country in Europe. Coincidence? Italy didn't believe measles or rubella are real threat anymore, well, do you think they believe COVID is a real threat now?

 

This outbreak will carry a lot of positives once it's contained. The anti-vaccination morons will have a hard time explaining that contagious diseases don't exist anymore so nobody needs a vaccination :p

I have never disagreed with that.

Fuck ! Fuck  Fuck !!!! FUCK !!!!!

 

The Slovak Ice Hockey Extraliga season 2019/20 has just been officially stopped and completely cancelled, we was 3 rounds before the end of the regular season and prior of one of the most followed sport event in the country the extraliga play-offs..now it´s all over...

 

No champion will be crowned this year...more info to come

 

Obciously I can understand ths decision, sad really sad but understandable, leaders of all clubs rejected the idea to finish the season without spectators, this has absolutely no sense in Slovakia. Maybe for freaking basketball or I don´t know handball which no one single dog in the country cares two shits about, would not be such problem but we are speaking here about the nations most popular sport...

 

economically, it would also be extremely harmful, but especially as everyone during the negotiations commented, playing in Slovakia the play-offa for the title and winning the title and celebrating title without spectators is simply unthinkable. total nonsense, this sport here is played for peoples..It better then to cancel the whole season...

 

well, it happened ..

Having no spectators in the stands won't be a problem in Polish sport. This has been a way to "fight" hooliganism for years and we've played a ton of football games with empty stands before. So obviously nobody cares there will be no fans in hockey, volleyball or handball games either if that's neccessary :p

Would be interesting to see what Hungary will do. It is reported that the HU Gov is now deliberating about, among others, limiting or suspending sport events and the decision will be published in the coming hours.

It is said that indoor events with more than 100 spectators cannot go ahead - this means koniec for handball for example (either continue it without spectators or cancel it altogether like you did with hockey) - probaly the most watched indoor sport in Hungary.

Curious as to what happens with football - not so much for the spectators, as a lot a matches have -in football terms- very few spectators anyway :D

Japanese Sport Minister and 1 of the Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee members have started speking openly of the real possibility to postpone the Tokyo Olympic Games to 2021 or, more likely, even 2022...

 

however, they admit they haven't talked of it collectively nor with the IOC yet, but that starting from April, they will begin monitoring the situation and then make their conclusions, provided that said interviews were just about a very personal point of view...

 

in any case, the final decision is up to the IOC (even if nobody in Japan expects them to go against the Japanese Government recommendations) and won't be taken before mid- / the end of June...

 

 

so far I've been strongly optimistic, but now I fear that on July 22nd (when the first events of the 2020 Games are scheduled) I'm gonna be the saddest and most depressed man on earth...:cry: :nopompom:

If the virus outbreak in China decreases by numbers in March one can argue it will happen the same in Japan? And therefore in May we won't be talking about OG being postponed IMO. There's a LOT of money involved in the Games so it's much more difficult to cancel them unlike some random gymnastics or cycling events elsewhere.

    • Here's the Official Olympics Page - as you can see, both  &  are on the TBC list   Where to Watch the Olympic Games Live | Milano Cortina 2026
    • We don’t even have a broadcaster or streaming platform for the games ! IOC couldn’t get any deal for the Indian viewers and we can’t watch this games live ! 
    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
    • Looks like we in the Philippines are in the same situation. No news yet on whether we’ll be able to watch the Games 
    • Cricket is any day in a better position than Baseball, Modern Pentathlon or Rowing 8s globally
    • http://i.imgur.com/gLJZbix.jpg   Honestly football is just on another level. For other sports, an expanded field or creating multiple host cities likely only works with baseball, cricket and maybe basketball, and only in very specific countries.
    • No streaming for the games in India. I contacted IOC they just sent me a list where the games will be shown live.    Last games we had the Olympic channel and YouTube showing the live coverage for regions with no media rights. This time sadly no such schedule.   So much about making the games accessible to all...
    • What revealed those files of Epstein !!!! thousands of scandals , horrible diguisting things mixing politic criminalities , robbery , scam , manipulation...etc    all those celebrities of shht that you love   
    • I wonder if instead of having flexibility around what sport to add there should be one or two team sports per game with an expanded field (of 16 or 32 or w/e) where the host gets to pick which which team sports (if any) has an expanded field.
