A senior member of Japan’s ruling party has said that cancelling the Tokyo Olympics “remains an option” if the coronavirus pandemic continues to worsen.

“If it seems impossible to do it any more, then we have to stop, decisively,” Toshihiro Nikai, secretary general of the Liberal Democratic party, said in a TV interview that has yet to be aired.

With how the Chinese Vaccine being used in Hungary is proving to be ineffective I would not count on that happening. 

No, they are mainly using what the EU uses, astrazeneca and other western vaccines that causes blood clots. (As stated by eu themselves). So pls stop spewing some bullshit.

More than 500k have been vaccinated with the Chinese Vaccine which China itself admitted is not truly effective.

It doesn't matter how effective the Chinese vaccine actually is, facts matter very little in Hungary when it comes to politics. If Orbán says that it's good enough, then there's nothing UEFA or EU can do to stop us from having a match with a full stadium other than to take away the matches from Budapest, but that's just not going to happen.

The Hungarian Olympic Committee has announced that so far 665 Hungarian athletes have been vaccinated, 37 athletes are still waiting for the vaccine, and 103 athletes refused to take it. Overall most of our team will be vaccinated for Tokyo.

Either they cancel it or postpone it to 2022, they should borrow money to their allies like america if they can't afford to postpone it. 

It won't get postponed to next year.  Very highly likely IMO that the Olympics happen this summer.  We've heard before about government officials wanting to cancel them.  I don't see it happening.  They're just saying it to go along with public opinion.

No way Tokyo gets postponed again. Hell, WOG in Beijing will most likely go ahead as planned and Japan can't get their shit together for two years? It's either cancel or go ahead later this summer. If Japan cancels the games they should be banned from applying for another OG for the next 50 years or something!

    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
