It's a good news for every asian country. No one wants to travel right now regardless of the destination. And those football stars currently in European leagues won't be distracted and concentrate on the qualifier later.

I watched all Chinese bouts and some other bouts today. Some Chinese players lost and some won. I think generally the referees are quite fair, all the results are as what I expected, nothing surprised me. It makes me more confident with this qualifier. How about you guys think?

Japanese Olympic committee head said if the coronavirus outbreak keep spreading, IOC agrees the Olympic Games could postpone to the end of 2020. Source from Chinese media, but I think English news will be released soon.

That explains why Asians wonder Europeans not wearing masks to protect themselves and also Europeans may wonder if Asians wearing masks are patients.

Actually it works and very important. I have seen a scientific video to show the rationale of wearing masks and washing hands to prevent virus. I think it mostly to prevent droplets.

I can't understand the seeding rules. Some competitive Chinese women's players including Olympic medalist and Asian Games champion NOT seeded! And they will meet some other big names in quarter final and only one could be qualified.

I wonder how to decide the 5 or 6 quotas when there are 8 quarter-final players?

They are coming

Any seeded list? Some seeded players just need one win to grab the quota. China boxing federation didn't publish any thing except those official website already published.

Great Job. But for CHN, I think the women overall should be 3, and only one man in ind. sprint/Keirin, the total number 4 is correct.

I have faith in Baku, they just held trampoline tournament. Good luck to them both, haha.

May I know when and where is the European Championships, that could give us a guess if it will be canceled. Gong Li won 2 stages to almost catch up with Elena Quirici. I have confidence in her but if both EC and Rabat are both canceled, all of her effort will be in vain.

The cover-up at the beginning is definitely wrong and the death of Dr. Li Wenliang triggered great anger of public. Lots things the government have to recall and improve after this outbreak. But I really don't think people should use this as a leverage to judge China's system, government, ideology again, at least not this very moment. No one could predict this virus so contagious at the beginning and since it's already happen, What we should do right now is making every effort to contain it and make people's life back to normal as soon as possible. Actually Chinese people are not that innocent to be manipulated by government. Don't live in media and talk to your Chinese friend.

Actually 5million people went out from Wuhan is not the people we should blame. Most of them didn't know they are in a very dangerous situation and they are not aware that they may be patients. They are just normal Chinese spring festival migrants to their hometown for family gathering or taking a vacation somewhere with family. The number 5 million is no big difference from past years. They are also victims like everyone else in Wuhan. If you have to make someone bare this responsibility, it should be the government. They announce it's infectious between humans too late. So the big migration already happen and lots people already infected. It's 20th Jan night when people know it's infectious and 23th Jan announce the lockdown which effective from 10am that day.

s It's the typical reaction of Chinese government when facing some uncertainties. Government tend to cover things up to maintain to stability and not to create panic emotions. Stability is the top priority in China. But they are not scientists or doctors, they can't predict how contagious and fatal it is. When the first trustworthy expert told people it can be infected between human on state-run media, it is already 20th Jan. Things are already beyond control.

I even heard the rumors North Korean government executed the first cases to contain the spread from a Taiwan media (which reports lots of misinformation). We can't get first-handed information there, mostly by guessing

North Korea is the first country close its border with China, and then forbids any foreigners to enter. It's understandable, they totally have no ability to deal with it.

I guess what happened between Taliban and government of Afghanistan after the withdrawal is no longer Trump's business. It doesn't bother at all.

Oh Table Tennis Qatar Open is up in the air now.

"Considering 1) that FINA refrained from seeking the imposition of a provisional suspension on the Athlete when charging him with an anti-doping rule violation, 2) that doping tests performed on the Athlete shortly before and after the aborted doping control in September 2018 were negative, and 3) that in the absence of any evidence that the Athlete may have engaged in doping activity since 4 September 2018, including on the occasion of the FINA World Championships in Gwangju, South Korea in July 2019, the results achieved by the Athlete in the period prior to the CAS award being issued should not be disqualified." quoted by CAS announcement

CAS said his past results would not be disqualified.

Actually they did. But not on the first page, you need to click "see all latest news" and then you will see. Edit: see all media releases https://www.tas-cas.org/fileadmin/user_upload/CAS_Media_Release_6148_decision.pdf

Yes he could just not open the door. And that just once absence.
