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 :p

Because the chase is more important than the catch :coffee:

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 :coffee: 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.

 

Dont's let facts get in the way of a good story :lol:

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.

2020 Tokyo Olympics Will Be Postponed Due to Coronavirus, Says IOC's Dick Pound

 

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

 

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...:pope:

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.

    • I thought that was the case.  I just started watching skimo last year, but even then, I didn't recognize any of the women.  I recognized the top Swiss guy, I think.

    • Yes, that and a lot of the main medal contenders  either didn't have teams entered/or fielded B-C teams

    • Unexpected boost for Team .  They are at least going to have a credible excuse if anyone fails any drug tests.     American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an 'honorary coach' for Team USA at next year's Winter Olympics.   The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Thursday the 54-year-old will take on "a volunteer role celebrating and supporting America's athletes off the field of play".   Snoop Dogg named 'honorary coach' for Team US at Winter Olympics - BBC Sport
    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
