Wow, this is horrible. They totally could have done them

Olympic athletes are already pretty much in a bubble

IOC should just push everyone back 4 years.

Lame. We need to stop canceling things. The NFL

Really dumb

1/21/21 4:50pm

If they can't be done this year, why not have them in 2022 and 2024? It wouldn't

Can't athletes and attendees be required to show proof of vaccination?

Better a first world country to handle this hit than one in the third world

I don't know if this is for sure... the article is a little bit speculative

Probably a smaller outfit trying to be first; I hope they're wrong!

hope not

That seems extreme given that the athletes could be vaccinated

And volunteers / support staff. It's complex, but could be done.

Wow, their facilities will be old by 2032. That's a long time to wait.

The Olympic stadium is brand new and will be taken care of well

Can't they just push it off a year? It won't kill anyone if we have consecutive

Ridiculous

1/21/21 5:08pm

Not sure where they are getting their info - speculation

Could another city jump in and pull it off on short notice? Who says they have to build new arenas. Use the ones that

Looks like they'll miss out on losing millions of dollars.

We had tickets for 2020. I hate this Pandemic Pandemonium.

Think about the impact this has on the livelihoods of hundreds of athletes.
