The Olympics will not happen without GB, Norway, Canada, Australia, etc. It is pretty much a foregone conclusion that the games won’t happen until 2021.

 

I don't think Norway plays as much of a role as they think they do in an Olympics without snow

Sure, she can try

So is there a reason no one is discussing this right now?...

Because the chase is more important than the catch

The anglo army came out with guns blazing with their statements and Dick Pound. 

 

It's obvious the game will be postponed, we don't need them to tell us that  it's all about their political sport agenda. Same as in Russia doping case.

 

It's especially funny from UK given they didn't give two shits about the virus like a week ago.

I really, really would want to see them do the Games now. Such big ultimatums are always my favorite. Sadly in this world only the big, rich and powerful can only do them.

sure...I was having my dinner (roast turkey, french fries, one kiwi and some dry fruits...to be precise)... 

 

jokes aside, in any case there's not much to say...he only highlighted what we already think it's obvious since quite a while...

 

it's only just another confirmation that the Olympic movement is in the hands of the English-speaking powerhouses' lobby and that they don't care about the rest of the world...it's only about their interests and nothing else...

IOC is getting the blame, but let's not forget that at the moment other sport organizations are still doing the same thing. LEN postponed the Aquatics European Championships only to August, F1 still has races scheduled in June, UEFA is planning to end the current season by the end of August. We will soon see how foolish all this is when everyone finally realizes that we most likely won't see larger scale sport events for the rest of the year. The situation is that bad. This won't go away in one or two months, not even if we reach the first peak of the pandemic soon. The vaccine won't be ready for a long time, and there's a chance that a second wave will be much worse than the first one.
