    Will the BBC amend it now Nasser is banned for two years as her name is briefly seen.

    Apparently Covid cases have risen in the last couple of weeks in Tokyo - I wonder if we will see changes to the planned crowd sizes. It’s the Paralympics I feel worse for. The Olympics will go ahead no matter what but if the Olympics causes a Covid surge then the Paralympics might be casualty of a panicking Japanese Goverment.

    Remember CAS make it hard to put stricter punishments - they tend to overturn plenty of sentences and convictions as it is.
  4. Orangehair43
    I think that depends on what the press and public’s mood is after the Olympics.

    I can see ROC maybe having two mixed teams as well.
  7. Orangehair43
    Apparently Norrie chose not to take part.

    Remember GB will not being having formal medal targets this Olympics due to the disruption Covid has had for being to able to compete and work out form.

    I think Svitolina will be next to withdraw now Monfils has pulled out.
  10. Orangehair43
    From GB so hopefully day 2 or 3 with hopes in Swimming and Takwondo.
  11. Orangehair43
    They will probably be Players pulling out till literally the day before the first matches - Easy to see it being down to half of the top 50 playing at best by the time it actually begins.
  12. Orangehair43
    Also I do wonder how many participants will be caught breaking rules - over the Covid crisis a lot of sport stars have come across as pretty idiotic and unable to follow the rules even when breaking them has consequences for their dreams and ambitions.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/57486942 The six day rule might really mess up Tennis and Golf where the participants are less devoted to the games.

    I have a bad feeling GB could end up with no medals in Atheltics with KJT and DAS underperforming and none of the other decent chances succeeding. Even no gold medals would see funding becoming a big issue.

    How can she claim she has never heard of Nandrolone. Considering how long it’s been about you have to pretty stupid to take it. First evidence of a silent ban? It’s been six months since she tested positive and had she won her appeal we wouldn’t have heard a thing about it.

    British Gymnastics is falling apart so not that surprising to get no medals. It be a big funding cut through if it does which might wel, wipe out the last twenty years of progress and the legacy of Beth, Louis and Max and all the other medalists.
  17. Orangehair43
    The Daily Telegraph say cancellation is still a possibility.
  18. Orangehair43
    I suspect the numbers will not be properly decided till a few days before the games start and might be amended as the Games go on if the situation improves or worsens.

    I presume it’s mostly the outdoor team sports that arrive in Japan a long time before so they can get used to the conditions
  20. Orangehair43
    And Japan is the oldest nation in the world meaning to get what the UK has classed as vunerable - all over 50’s plus those younger with health issues - they will need another five or six months.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9628623/State-emergencies-Japan-extended-Tokyo-2020-chiefs-say-Olympics-held.html may not have local fans. In one way I think that’s good because it might ease concerns that a lot of Japanese people have about hosting the games if audiences are heavily limited or even banned.
  22. Orangehair43
    I wonder if individual sports could get cancelled. If Golf and Tennis have dreadful attendee rates will the events be called off to prevent them being seen as a joke - imagine if the Men’s tennis final is between world number 63 Alexei Popyrin and world number 86 Gianluca Mager

    With the latest lockdown in Melbourne are the Australian people really going to be happy seeing a lot of athletes and officials flying.To Japan and then having to quarantine on return . Wouldn’t be shocked to Australia talking about withdrawing soon.
