So the Canadian government has now written to the IOC to reinstate Mandy Bujold into the games.

This is a PR disaster waiting to explode for the IOC. Very difficult decision for them.

To take a break from the virus talk, here is a quick summary for the Asian countries so far, compared to 2016.   Of course they can add quotas from the world qualifier.   Nation

wtf "the qualification criteria must include an accommodation for women who were pregnant or postpartum during the qualification period"? Good luck to the IFs for the next Olympics. And why not i

To be frank, how would IOC reinstate her? We all know that Boxing qualification has been a disaster but don’t see how IOC can give WC to her without opening themselves to similar legitimate demand from many more.

I agree, if they allow her to compete it opens up the possibility of many more claiming their right to compete, but if they don't the PR damage will be big too. Lose lose for the IOC in this case.

I doubt there will be much PR damage, especially outside of Canada. Most people are understanding of the situation we are in and that some athletes will be unfortunately affected by it. If anything, it can be spun around to Canada trying to whine/complain its way to Olympic quotas. We are already pushing for a quota in canoeing and to a lesser extent a team in equestrian.

PR damage? Nobody knows about this outside Canada. 

It's bad but she just had bad luck, like many others.

why Canadian government didn't offer hosting the Pan-American Qualification event instead of sending this letter now ?!

 

all American boxers deserve an equal chance to qualify for the Olympics. this shouldn't be based on that useless ranking which wasn't important at the time and I'm sure so many other boxers beside Bujold didn't take it seriously. they can't play the pregnant card though.

Who is Mandy Bujold and what's the problem here? The article doesn't really make it clear for those who don't already know the details :p

She is a Canadian Boxer who won't go to Tokyo due to cancellation of qualifiers. She was on Maternity Leave during the tournaments that counted for rankings. So basically she was even denied of a opportunity to qualify for  Olympics

      the basic is the same but with different tricks, different strategy etc. it's a mixture of frestyle and Greco because you can't dive for a single leg attack.    I'm surprised to see ~20 wrestlers in each weight. hopefully that doesn't tempt UWW or IOC to try this in major events. as a wrestling fan I find this very unwatchable !

      Lasting 2 Weeks and including 24 sports    I bet Beach Sepaktakraw(including their favourite Chinlone, Hoop), Water Skiing, Arnis, Floorball, Wushu, Weightlifting, Taekwondo, Underwater Hockey, Boxing and a few martial arts (Kickboxing/Muay Thai etc)   Obstacle Racing also should make the cut.
