that's not the reason...

 

the athletes simply refused to have a 15-day quarantine period before the training camp, the the camp itself and maybe another quarantine after voming home from Japan (which currently is the required procedure in many Countries)...

 

if they accepted that situation, they would miss all the lucrative DL and Continental Tour meets scheduled before and after the training camp...

 

the athletes and their federation (and especially the USTF) don't give a crap about the current Japanese situation since they have got their vaccination (all those who wanted) with the very effective Moderna or Pfizer vaccines and they wouldn't have any contact with the Japanese population in any case during that camp nor the Olympics...

I am just saying what they claim officially, which is that the training camp was cancelled due to safety concerns. This is the narrative that the people in charge are selling to the media, not that the quarantine would have been inconvenient.

The U.S. team notified the decision last month to authorities in Chiba prefecture, located next to Tokyo, saying the pandemic would put athletes’ safety at risk, according to Takuya Iida, an official in charge of the training camps in the prefecture. The team had planned to train in July and August. Some other national teams have also canceled training camps for similar reasons, he said.

That’s worrying. The minute USOC or Biden says withdrawal should happen then it will happen. 

 

Biden is a Big Tech puppet. If NBC tells him US athletes have to take part in Tokyo, he won't have anything to say.

Nadal is not sure, and it's just about season planning, not about pandemic (i'm from Spain). Furthermore, Nadal said exatcly the dame before Río and later he came. Hideki is a golf player, do you remember golf and zika in Rio?

 

However, all athletes will be vaccinated, what is then the problem?

 

If hoy hate Olympics, what are you doing here Orangehair?

Problem 1/2 Solved - Doctors

 

The 2nd problem will be 500 nurses. But as Suga said nurses who have retired can just come for the noble cause might come ( 150-200).A few nurses will take this opportunity to meet sportperson (150-200).A few would find this task easier and safer than taking care of old people (100-150) . And if the curve falls a few more will join . So all in all once we get enough nurses and cases dont increase drastically it's safe to say the games will go ahead. 

 

The next 3 weeks are absolutely crucial.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
