I'm very much missing the option "It is too early to decide yet".

 

you're right...I should have added that one too, but it was already complicated enough to set up this version of the poll that I didn't think too much to any other option that could make sense...

 

next time (if there will be a "next time") I promise to do better...

No worries, I've posted plenty of polls on the Dutch website I write for and half the times I post it and think "crap, I should have added this or that option as well" :p

I don't see "Postpone it to September/October 2020" option.

Probably because it isn’t a realistic one...

They should be held in the set dates as long as:  

  

- Japan has covid completely under control by that date. 

- Foreign spectators are banned. Only athletes and their supporting staff should be allowed in the country. With strict health controls before entering the village. 

- No athletes are affected by big obstacles that difficult their training (e.g. training facilities closed) by mid April. 

 

If any of these conditions isn't fulfilled, then I think they should be postponed for 2021. Naturally, the 3rd condition is the most unlikely as things are now.

    • Weightlifting formula is more or less similar to 2020 which was considered terrible by everybody!    this is a tough sport, you can't be in your best shape for too many events. there will be risks of serious injuries this way. with these rules you need 5 good results to qualify. if you bomb out in an event to score a zero you are out of the Olympics unless you replace it with another event. which means most of these poor guys have to participate in 7-8 events (and not just 5) to make up for possible bomb outs.    most importantly if you get injured anytime during this period (almost 2 years) you are out of the Olympics! that's how Sohrab Moradi missed the Tokyo Olympics despite breaking the WR during the qualification period. you can miss the Olympics in 2028 if you get injured late 2026 !  Karlos Nasar couldn't win the Olympic title if we had these rules in 2024   I understand 2024 qualification formula wasn't great either, it had its own flaws but this one is much worse for threatening athletes' health.
