No sporting boycotts will happen. I'm amazed how delusional people are. The Tibet situation was much bigger in 2008 and they held the Games there. Money is more important to IOC than people realize. The days when they banned Ingemar Stenmark from taking part in WOG are long over

I’m not so sure.

I am sure. Tibet, Hong Kong and Taiwan are all lost to the Western world. COVID has allowed China to call people racists whenever someone says "Chinese virus". NBC pays too much money for WOG to be held without Americans for instance. Nobody in USA would tune in to watch Russians and Norwegians win

I am sure NBC has a clause in the contract that says no Americans no broadcast.

The longest term damage is trying to get a games for 2030 and longer. Most people around the world world do not like the IOC.

And football only grows bigger with more games and more money invested. Nobody will boycott FIFA World Cup, football is basically bigger than Olympic Games (most certainly than the Winter edition where half of the world doesn't even have a shot at any medals).

Did you miss the news that the Scandinavian FA’s are considering quitting Fifa due to the prospect of the World Cup every two years?
