dcro 10,210 Posted September 8, 2021 #401 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Zero chance of having foreign spectators. They would basically have to allow it overnight and hope fans can get organized on short notice. No way. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Liu 1,672 Posted September 17, 2021 #402 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Beijing2022 motto is Together for a Shared Future, in Chinese 一起向未来. It’s as generic as the Tokyo one and apparently no resource putting on it. opruh and Ted 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would basically have to allow it overnight and hope fans can get organized on short notice. No way. I'd already be very positively surprised if we're going to see a decent number of Chinese spectators, it was barely a month ago since reports were convinced there would not be a single spectator and everything would be even way tighter and stricter than it was in Tokyo...these latest things sound very hopeful!

I think it’s just easier for the USOPC to make it an all team policy. That way there’s no “how come they don’t have to,” or “they didn’t get it so neither did I.” That’s my guess anyways.

You can add Brazil to that list as well. They're making short lists of athletes who could qualify and one requirement to be on the short list is to be fully vaccinated. Not on the short list = not going to the Olympics.

I don't think it would be sensible to have a policy that said "you have to be vaccinated, unless you had COVID" because then you might have athletes who claim they had COVID to avoid getting the jab. Especially since this seems to be a thing.. Are some NFL players using fake vaccination cards?

If you can verify vaccines you can verify natural immunity. Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckošice 14,768 Posted September 27, 2021 #410 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Looks like the new IIHF president Luc Tardif has more balls than uncle oberfuhrer Rene. Just two days after his election he threatened to be kicked out of the olympic tournament (if yes, will be then replaced by ) Luc Tardif: This question really arises for the men's team, not for the women's team [...] There are going to be games for the China team that will be overseen by an IIHF official and a decision will be made afterwards [...] Watching a team being beaten 15-0 is not good for anyone, not for China or for ice hockey. [...] If it is not possible for China, we need a plan B and it will be (decided) by the 'ranking' of Norway. Apparently China will have to play a quasi-qualifying match against an another national team during the October international break, and based on the result it will be decided whether they are fit to take part in the Olympics. ahjfcshfghb and Ted 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
