    What percentage of players will boycott the Australian Open due being mandated to be vaccinated. I doubt anywhere near as many as anti vaxers hope for.

    AstraZeneca in particular wears off pretty fast. The booster jabs seem to work very well through.
  3. Orangehair43
    There is speculation elsewhere on the internet that some European countries are considering withdrawing from the games. Once one does a lot will follow. Could then up being the China Dan those bribed by China games only.

    Have any athletes indicated they won’t be attending due to refusing to be vaccinated?

    The WTA can’t really row back now without it possibly leading to them getting sanctioned in the USA. Don’t rule out sporting bodies being sanctioned for dealing with China in the years to come.

    In terms of press coverage Osaka and Serena Williams are the famous players currently playing.

    Was it. I don’t remember the Us Congress passing bills calling for boycotts.

    And everyone the payroll or aspiring to be on the payroll. Plus a few of whom riding was their weakest skill.

    So a country is kidnapping Olympians and also committing genocide but the rest of the world should just be silent and let it get the rewards of the Olympics. The IOC is risking a lot of damage defending China here - I don’t think they will be a Winter Olympics in 2030 at this rate as no one will bid.

    She is an Olympian kidnapped by the host of the nest games. How can the IOC go there.
  11. Orangehair43
    I believe she accused him of forcing her into sex.

    I wonder if the Peng Shuai incident will increase the chances the games get boycotted at this near last moment.
  13. Orangehair43
    I think it be Russian Football federation. Which seems entirely bonkers.
  14. Orangehair43
    I feel that is more likely as the BBC article doesn’t have anyone that happy with the decision.
  15. Orangehair43
    I feel the tensions over the future of Catalonia would worry the IOC - it could all explode at some point.
  16. Orangehair43
    I think it’s inevitable UEFA countries will boycott any possible 2028 World Cup.
  17. Orangehair43
    I will be surprised if they will be that pleased to have a bid where swimming is so far from the host city. Particualy in somewhere like Spain where there are major political tensions between Madrid and Barcelona.
  18. Orangehair43
    Not under one member one vote. They can and likely will be outvoted. But then they may well boycott. Or send b teams full of weaker players.

    It did at least seem a lot better in Tokyo.

    I am not sure why they didn’t cancel it rather than it be devalued by only having a few competitors who have previously won world or Olympic medals

    It’s not the international bodies but some countries have Governments who are hardline opposed to vaccine mandates and might well make it impossible for their NOC to participate under these rules. Possibly not but it’s the most common vaccine in Russia. China are not going to shut Russia out as they trying to build bridges with them.
  22. Orangehair43
    Be interesting to see if any NOC’s withdraw over mandatory vaccines. They are a few countries with enough hardline anti vaxers to make it somewhat awkward for their NOC to agree with it through most are hot weather countries not to be missed if there don’t compete.

    I imagine they would need actual proof - such as people being prosecuted for it. And even then I could see them promoting people but not stripping anyone unless they could prove the boxer themselves was involved in the fixing. Dual champions anyone ?
  24. Orangehair43
    Will World Athletics try and do long and short distances together or focus on probably the higher profile sprints first,
  25. Orangehair43
    I think that is why we have seen all the reports about how chaotic UK athletics is and athletes turning on them. They getting the blame from them - and I think with reports that those who friends with Ujah involved it’s not all because they think they let a doper in the squad.
