Agger 1,591 Posted March 12, 2020 #411 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Well. Considering that more and more countries close down, there's still a chance that it could work out for the Olympics, but we may very well need to see some progress in the next couple of weeks. In South Korea the curve could seem to be broken while it may be a week or so before we see Italy moving in a positive direction (hopefully). The other countries could follow if things go right. If that works out, there's still hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That just brings a whole lot of new questions (prevailing risks, fear factor), what could eventually cause very sparse attendance, at best... Sparse attendance would be fucking awesome! I’d have my pick of tickets, and plenty of room to myself. Plus, I wouldn’t have to worry about catching Covid-19 really. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

dcro 10,182 Posted March 12, 2020 #413 Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) Well, this was fun. Indoor Brabant is finally cancelled (including a stage of Dressage WC). @heywoodu On Tuesday it was announced that the event would run with max 1000 people in audience. On Wednesday it was announced that the event will be held behind closed doors. On Thursday it was announced that the event has been cancelled.

EselTheDonkey 698 Posted March 12, 2020 #414 Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, dcro said: Well, if Euro gets postponed, then all bets regarding Tokyo are off... Not really. The Euro is in a completely different part of the world, and it has also the disadvantage that several countries are going to organize it. Olympics are in Japan, which at least right now is in a comparatively good situation (compared to their number of inhabitants). Consisting of several islands probably doesn't hurt Japan either, since the traffic is easier to control. That said, if the situation is still bad in summer, even if it shouldn't be bad in Japan directly, than they of course can't let thousands of people from all over the world in their country. And right now I do believe that the Olympics will get postponed. But this belief has nothing to do with the Euro.

Federer91 2,140 Posted March 12, 2020 #416 Share Posted March 12, 2020 September/October is a great date for me. If everyone can get their stuff together, it's the best option, if they have to postpone it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
