thepharoah 2,287 Posted September 8, 2021 #634 Share Posted September 8, 2021 That's too unfair and they wouldn't have dare to take such such decision if it was USA or GB or Germany or any other big country, in a world wide epidemic u can't force anyone to participate in a very crowded OG Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDOG 2,199 Posted September 8, 2021 #635 Share Posted September 8, 2021 They should be banned from international sport for a multitude of other reasons but not this. Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Liu 1,591 Posted September 9, 2021 #636 Share Posted September 9, 2021 So does it mean that North Korea is banned to participate Beijing 2022? Actually many North Korean live in Beijing and they don't have to travel or quarantine, some of them can participate if granted wild card.

opruh 129 Posted September 9, 2021 #637 Share Posted September 9, 2021 A country is banned for taking precautions against a pandemic. Meanwhile other like the USA is free to drone strike kids in Afghanistan without any repercussions. Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, lets be real, chance to qualify is almost inexistant, so no one will really notice. The punishment is mainly about IOC financial support which will be cut during the ban period Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only leaves 2004 (which ain't happening anytime soon) and 2010 hosts. Is 2030 going to Vancouver if the pattern holds lol? (Personally I hope not) 1896 Athens, Greece - the first Games of the modern era. The birthplace of the Olympic Movement. 2004 Athens, Greece - this was their second Games.
