After Zika, Covid and bed bugs we have found the new reason because of which Olympics are going to be cancelled. Brace for 3.5 years of updates on how Trump's X policy or Y statement will result in cancellation of LA Games. 

Yeah, Trump is very pro-Olympics. I imagine he's pretty excited that he will get to open the games

 

Visas for some nations have always been tough and I do imagine some qualified individuals will fail to enter the United States (regardless who is President), but the IOC will likely sweep it under the rug.

I remember a couple of years during the athletics worlds in Oregon one of the British athletes wasn’t able to enter the US due to visa issues. I feel like something similar will happen in LA, and I don’t envisage Trump succumbing to an appeal to let an unfortunate athlete in.

If I was an Iranian sportsperson I would be very worried that Trump would not allow me into the USA for the Olympics.

Be interesting to see how the IOC react to something which is direct breach of the contract the USOC signed.

The IOC and Trump have a bad relationship. Could get very messy if things go wrong.

Can't imagine being anyone better to be on top for the Olympics and the world cup.  Someone who loves America so much and will demand a full spectacle to show our strength and power.    This is the unsung benefit of his amazing elections.    I wasnt going to go to the opening ceremony.  But now I definetly will!

Given Trump wants a law saying that only gender assigned at birth should be recognized, I wonder how such a law (along with any laws "protecting women’s sports") would affect athletes with DSDs. Because it would make it illegal to consider athletes like Caster Semenya or Imane Khelif as anything other than female, since that’s their gender assigned at birth and that’s apparently immutable.

 

There is an interesting tension there.

They might not be any games. The IOC relationship with Trump is poor and if he bans some countires from entering the IOC might say - bye bye- contract breached. .
