heywoodu 13,559 Posted June 4, 2021 #22 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Not due to injury, but due to being an antivaxxer: Yvette Broch (NED, handball). Out of curiousity, are there any other athletes yet of whom it's clear they'll skip the Olympics due to actively refusing a vaccine? 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!

Novax Djocovid...ops, I mean Novak Djokovic (but he's already trying to find loughable excuses, rather than admitting his reluctance to get vaccinated)... however, it's not official yet, but bets are all against him flying to Tokyo right now... in any case, it's obvious that there won't be any rule set by the IOC forcing the athletes to get vaccinated to participate at the OGs, they just ask the athletes to do it, but it's not mandatory...it's up to the single NOCs and Countries to take this kind of decisions...
