Olympian1010 7,541 Posted July 3, 2023 #22 Share Posted July 3, 2023 (edited) So this edition has only become a bigger mess since the last update I posted. will skip the event entirely: https://www.francsjeux.com/breves/quebec-is-not-coming will only send artists, no athletes: https://www.francsjeux.com/breves/wallonia-brussels-wont-be-sending-athletes is likely boycotting for political reasons, though I don’t believe that’s officially been confirmed… The table tennis venue will likely not be ready for the event, but there might be a backup venue available: https://www.francsjeux.com/breves/plan-b-for-table-tennis It would seem, as an outside observer, that this gamble by the CIJF has not paid off.

I definitely think it’s incomplete. Honestly, it’s hard to know who’s attending now given all the withdrawals over safety and venue preparedness concerns. “Sport has the power to change the world.
