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.

Yes, because if there's a serious lockdown, then at least they have something interesting to watch during the day.

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! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Sure. That's why aussies are contesting qualifying tournaments around the world. For example, just today the 3x3 OQT un Austria. It's only for cheating.

Of course they will say this. The IOC will not be the one to pull the plug.

 

It's all up to Tokyo. They lose money either way, but which one is more preferrable is for the argument.

We're going to be hard-pressed to find a larger lose-lose situation in the world of sports indeed..

Please stop saying of Games cancellation. Its the only one thing which you can do here? Then your life must be really poor if you spread unsense articles and says about that Games should be cancelled everday. Please find an better thing which you can do with your life. 

 

@Sindo can you ban him already?

The Chef de Mission of Team Ireland was on radio this morning pointing out that the case levels in Japan are half what we have currently in Ireland yet we are opening up. She said the feedback they are getting from places where the Irish Team will have training camps in Japan is that there in are no issues with them hosting athletes etc.

Its election year in Japan so people need to bear that in mind. That said the IOC need to be doing more to reassure the Japanese people that every precaution is being taken. A good start is that the IOC themselves need to ensure that there are no junckets etc and that the bare minimum of officials attend.

Yes you would.  You would be absolutely stunned if Australia talked about withdraw.  GTFOH with that kind of fear-mongering.

 

I respect Australia's response to COVID in order to contain the virus, but for crying out loud, let's keep perspective on just how much COVID is circulating around Victoria right now compared to locations in other countries.
