    At this rate Bejing and even Paris 2024 might be affected if international quarantines last into 2022 and 2023.
  3. Orangehair43
    I think most athletes mentally have been sort of privately preparing.
  4. Orangehair43
    Maybe hotel Quarantines. Or even postponement till October or 2022 through it's unlikely Japan would agree.
  5. Orangehair43
    That is very unlikely - That would destroy the reputation of the IOC everywhere else.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/55762303 Lord Coe thinks it might be behind closed doors.
  7. Orangehair43
    Even if it goes ahead no certainty every country will appear - some might not get government permission to travel and then quarantine on return. A few smaller countries doing this might not kill the games but obviously big ones very likely would.
  8. Orangehair43
    As the Times said the IOC are waiting for the likes of the USA to pull out before pulling the plug.
  9. Orangehair43
    And quarantine would be more manageable as for a smallish sport you would only need 200-500 entering Japan could keep Karate and Softball and maybe even Athletics.

    Suspect most if not all would be the same especially with the vaccine busting mutant.
  11. Orangehair43
    They can be the same year again like before the move to 1994.
  12. Orangehair43
    In the article the source says they want President Biden to say Team USA should not go so then they can officially cancel it.
  13. Orangehair43
    Every country would have the same issue.
  14. Orangehair43
    The key thing will be how Japan reports it in the coming days- do they announce it or deny it or ignore the reports. Should have postponed to 2022 and then tried to get 2024 to move to 2026 and 2028 to 2030.
  15. Orangehair43
    I can see all other bids opting not to even bother.
  16. Orangehair43
    Maybe they will add them into 2024 as a conciliation prize. Unlikely - most people will accept it.
  17. Orangehair43
    Problem is athletes are young so in most countries people in their age group won't be done by August - some places (China for example) might allow jumping the queue but most won't. Japan would have to provide the vaccine itself to the athletes and officials to not make it a nationality lottery.
  18. Orangehair43
    Michael Phelps say he thinks the Games should be cancelled.

    CAS would likely overule the IOC trying to ban clean athletes.
  21. Orangehair43
    Most Tokyo residents want it postponed or cancelled.
  22. Orangehair43
    I think the news the Brazilian variant has spread to Japan increases the likelihood of cancellation.
  23. Orangehair43
    Delusion. The IOC will soon pull the plug when it becomes obvious it won't work.
  24. Orangehair43
    Could it end up being Tokyo 2024 - Matthew Pinsent has called for it. I think it will be cancelled by the end of February but then some sports will organise last minute extra top level events as smaller scale events with the testing and quarantine manageable. I think a few Governments will rule out the vaccinating athletes ahead of the queue rule before the IOC pull the plug.
