Some of them are in their top form or at career’s peak so I’m sure this decision will break them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be right. If that's what it takes for the Olympics to go on, so be it. That's no consolation for Japan, but better for the IOC and the sports federations Paris 2024 competition schedule by Day Paris 2024 competition schedule by Sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,131 Posted January 22, 2021 #1693 Share Posted January 22, 2021 The IOC would have to share a significant portion of the media rights for Japan to agree to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orangehair43 169 Posted January 22, 2021 #1694 Share Posted January 22, 2021 At this rate Bejing and even Paris 2024 might be affected if international quarantines last into 2022 and 2023. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this rate nothing isn't sure, we don't know what will happen even tomorrow, then saying that Paris Games in three years mighr be affected is bullshit and you should calm down.

This was my idea as well, as the Ice Hockey WCh will probably be held in Riga without spectators, and I read somewhere that the IIHF will agree to reimburse part of the shortfall for the organizers. In case of the IOC this might be carried out more easily, given the massive TV monies involved (granted, the prospective loss b/c of no spectators is also greater by orders of magnitude) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Federer91 2,114 Posted January 22, 2021 #1697 Share Posted January 22, 2021 What's wrong with these people. No seriously... Who in their right mind thinks about having spectators at the OG. That shouldn't be even a topic. It's a complete fairytale. And from there it goes to total cancelation and yet the most logical choice of having the OG behind closed doors (like every other God damn sport at the moment) is the "odd" choice.. I have no words.

LDOG 2,181 Posted January 22, 2021 #1698 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Did this guy join the forum just to post about the cancellation of everything? What a bad troll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,569 Posted January 22, 2021 #1699 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I wonder if Japan didn't leak the news of possible cancellation of the Games to test out the global opinion? If the response would be overwhelmingly negative then they'd have to tough it out and hold the Games at all costs? Dnl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
