Nor would any of the other athletes because they'd all have contracted coronavirus

Once a Nation Pulls out
it means other Nations
will now follow.

That is what matters Nicky

Money Invested.

Nicky91 23-03-2020 08:42 AM

The World Demands it

Nicky91 23-03-2020 09:11 AM

well i trust Asia more than europe in terms of controlling this virus


and if there really was any doubts, Thomas Bach of IOC would've already said so, so he also must have faith in Asia's control over the virus

Cherie 23-03-2020 09:31 AM

I don't understand how the Japanese think it can go ahead :shrug:

Smithy 23-03-2020 09:45 AM

Australia out too now

Cherie 23-03-2020 09:48 AM

Apart from anything else training for a lot of these athletes will be patchy with having to self isolate or maybe even contracting the virus

what our dutch olympic committee thinks about this

‘The IOC is confident that it will have finalised these discussions within the next four weeks, and greatly appreciates the solidarity and partnership of the NOCs and IFs in supporting the athletes and adapting the games planning,’ the IOC said.

Nobody cares about irrelevant Dutch athletes who wouldn’t have won many medals anyway
