That's a DOA since July is the only month where only baseball remains a viable competition. WG would be totally irrelevant during NBA playoffs or the football season. It most likely would be totally irrelevant anyway except for the die hards like us who would follow it anyway If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

That's a DOA since July is the only month where only baseball remains a viable competition. WG would be totally irrelevant during NBA playoffs or the football season. The World Games would actually be unaffected by the move thinking about it now. None of the athletes, save a few climbers and the softball teams, would be at the Olympics. I think it’s unfair to force other events to move in order to host the Olympics. If the Olympics have to be moved, their credibility/prestige will already be hurt. Plus, it would further discourage nations from hosting the Olympics, and other events that are somewhat required for the Olympics. “Sport has the power to change the world.

Everyone else has to move for that. 1972 hostage crisis didn't hurt the Olympics credibility, several boycotts didn't hurt it either and you think a coronavirus delay hurts it? No frickin' way! Since even USA wants to host the Olympics again (hello 2028) then it's all fine and dandy with its credibility IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
