Will the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games be cancelled?

[Vektor 3,326]

I think we have past the point of no return, the Games will happen no matter what at this point. There's too much money involved, just like with other big sport events like F1, the Champions League, EURO2020, etc. And it's quite clear that most of the "important" nations won't request a postponement or cancellation this year, unlike in 2020. Japan will also be under more pressure to deliver as more and more international events will have spectators as we will get closer to the Games.

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. 

It might happen if UEFA fear a full stadium means the players and support staff catch the virus. The last thing they want is the virus spreading among the participants -Espescally the risk of it being a vaccine busting variant.

To all people wanting cancellation check  what the PM told yesterday. He's delayed the question now by St least 50 days with his answer.

No, it won't. You live in an alternate reality if you think that's possible. We are living in a world where Qatar is hosting a FIFA World Cup while doing much worse things than letting a full stadium of vaccinated people spectate a match. UEFA is doing literally the opposite of what you are saying, they were even suggesting that they will take away the matches from hosts who aren't letting any spectators in.

"CAS is not involved in the decision on the outfitting of Russians at the Games"

so there will be objection to the Russian clothes.

I find this drama completely ridiculous. Who the fuck cares if they have those colors on their uniforms, or that they are called "Russian team" or whatever. There most be more important matters to deal with, both regarding the Russian situation and regarding other important issues.
