Tokyo Olympics may be postponed for a year or two

The Olympic Games, which were previously planned for the summer of 2020 in Tokyo, can be postponed for one or two years. The reason for this was the spread of coronavirus.

This was reported by the American edition of the Wall Street Journal, referring to the representative of the organizing committee of the Olympics from Japan Haruyuki Takahashi.

The decision to postpone the Olympics can be made if it is not held in 2020. Takahashi believes that I will not completely cancel the Olympic Games, their transfer is more likely:

The IOC will be in difficulty if they are canceled.

The expert believes that the International Olympic Committee will not postpone the Games for a period not exceeding a year, since in this case the Olympics would have to be held simultaneously with other important sporting events.

Takahashi considers the transfer of games for two years to be the most optimal, since the schedule of sporting events for the next year has already been scheduled, and it is quite tight.

At the moment, due to the outbreak of coronavirus, several qualification tournaments have been postponed, which are held before the Olympics. In addition, the NOC of Greece previously announced that the traditional lighting of the Olympic flame, which usually takes place in this country before the Games, will take place this year without the participation of spectators.

Bullshit. Now Russia will come out with the initiative, and in Sochi everything seems to be in order - we’ll do it. And the virus - what garbage, overcome.

Not garbage, but the right decision.

The virus is an unexplored still formidable danger: it returns to the recovered, there is evidence that the immune system is suffering irreparably.

It’s better to overdo it ....

[Shurik70]

And I think this is a chance to blame Russia for creating the virus.
And impose new sanctions.
Russia is not allowed to the Olympics, so, in revenge, they decided to disrupt it ...
Is it logical

By the way, how old is Russia under sanctions?

[Machito]

IOC will not cancel the Games. Who wants to lose the loot? Loot steers. Japan will twist hands.

[Hunter 2]

Yes, I do not remember the precedent with the transfer of the Olympics. Today I looked at the statistics of the WHO, every day 4 thousand people get coronavirus. In total, more than 115 thousand are infected in the world.

What if the Russians won all the gold?
In general, China is now robbing godlessly on speculative funds and they have taken up Russia .. The brilliant operation of the Masons.
We warned China!

Yes, I do not remember the precedent with the transfer of the Olympics.

In 1940, the Summer Olympics were to be held in Tokyo. But in 1938 (two years before the games), Japan refused. And then the IOC moved the game to Helsinki. After the start of World War II, they were finally canceled.
The 1940 Winter Olympic Games were held along the same lines. They were originally also supposed to be in Japan (Sapporo).

[Hunter 2]

Well, to conduct the Olympic Games during WWII (1940 onwards) clearly did not.
I'm talking about changing the schedule of the Games in Peacetime. Baykot Games I remember - the transfer for some reason - No and It was not like that.
I watched the news, the advanced fight against coronavirus is shifting to Europe.

[orionvitt]

Why are there games, it's essentially a trifle. We live in interesting times. Now, under the guise of coronavirus, new economic, political and psychological programs for managing people will be tested. And in many countries, this is already being done with might and main, mainly psychologists. Literate people immediately wondered why, regarding not the most terrible virus, they inflated the universal problem. The conclusion is on the surface. I would like to immediately congratulate the "blessed" West, with the end of their so beloved democracy (although it has long since arrived there). The nuts are now tightening.

Are you sure that he (the virus) is not scary?
For example, I do not. And I live, very close to Europe. And first, I, too, was parallel to what was happening in China. But you see how everything has changed ... We already have one official.
By the way, gauze bandages are not rich? Can you send a comrade? And then, we have everything ...

[Hunter 2]

Even according to WHO, the mortality rate from coronavirus is 3.4%. This is not taking into account the new "European" mutations.
For comparison, seasonal flu mortality is less than 1%.
Thailand - tightened the rules of entry, including for Russians. Strengthened sanitary control measures. (Latest virus news).

Slightly "scarier" than the common flu. Looking at all this hysteria, I am sure of one thing, that the world is sick with more terrible "diseases" than the coronavirus. And the current "epidemic" has only revealed these "diseases" and contradictions. The most terrible "diseases", which are hidden from us in every possible way, lie in the very structure and structure of society. And it doesn't matter in America, Europe, or China. It's much easier to push everything onto a "new virus". In my opinion, only a blind person cannot fail to see this. So, with gauze bandages, it is not cured.

[Ka-52]

Slightly "scarier" than normal flu

A little bit? The coronavirus cannot be curbed even by such powerful preventive measures as the closure of entire regions. The Chinese were able to keep the situation under control only with mobilization, which we have seen only in movies like "Epidemic" with Dustin Hoffman. When comparing with influenza, keep in mind that the pathogenicity and virulence of the coronovirus is higher than that of the influenza virus. And also the fact that influenza can be defeated only by mass vaccination (about 70 million / year vaccinated only in the Russian Federation). So, the hap-covering in the style "no worse than the flu" and "all this is the machinations of the Jews" hardly speaks of a balanced assessment

[bessmertniy]

It turns out that Japan traditionally fails with the Olympic Games. Maybe if they had not chosen Tokyo as the site of the next games, then the coronavirus would not have crawled out.

Yes, and in the summer in Tokyo there will be large typhoons, according to the forecast. Tokyo is not the place to host the Olympics.

[carstorm 11]

and the epidemic is Tipo has been going on for three months and 115 thousand 90 days .... 4000 people ... something does not converge)))

What exactly bothers you? According to data provided by WHO, it turns out that the epidemic is gaining momentum. Schools were closed in the Czech Republic today and mass events are canceled (from the latest information).
Moreover, WHO sets the example of the Chinese in the fight against coronavirus as a reference. Europe - criticized for not effective fight against the epidemic.

[Mytholog]

There will just be time to drag the Anti-Doping Sharks through the courts.
Unless, of course, this is really needed, and not just declared.

[bober1982]

The good news is, we need to "tie up" with big sports, in its current form - all these competitions have nothing to do with sports, some hucksters.

[Air force]

This karma has overtaken all kinds of anti-doping agencies. And if I seriously agree with you, the olympiad has simply turned into a business and a political lever. But this is for the time being, with such movements, these Olympic functionaries will drop the prestige of the Olympiad and interest in normal people will disappear. The Olympics will turn into a tolerant competition of pharmaceutical giants, and various freak transgenders pumped up with various drugs will act as athletes. Already, American athletes are complaining that transgender people participate in the competition, even without gender reassignment, in fact, men who consider themselves women, and they perform in women's competitions and take away all the prizes and girls can forget about tickets to the competitions. And this is just the beginning.

[bober1982]

The current athletes, that ours, that are not ours, live in their unusual, virtual world, they have no connection with reality and the world around them.
Well, plus - the ones you mentioned ..... business, medicines, political leverage and freak-transgender people.

[Masha]

in the form in which the Olympic movement is now located, it is generally not necessary to conduct it ... not farce games!

[cniza]

This has long been a political tool that has even been taken away from business.

World games of pharmacists.

[Graz]

the next year, all competitions must be rescheduled, nothing bad will happen

[grandfather_Kostya]

OI in a lean year is a bad omen. There will be no medals. No one.

[cniza]

without the participation of the audience.

Stop losing your mind ...

[rocket757]

Here is such an infection, coronovirus!
It seems like wars should stop \ retreat before the world holiday of sport and peace .... but the infection can impose ... a veto!

[bessmertniy]

This is how the understanding comes that international games and gatherings are becoming a tool for inciting pandemics. A sober decision. But as if instead of one infection today two or three new tomorrows appear. Today, the world is so scared that in the future even mild influenza may be "inflated" to the level of a high global threat.

[rocket757]

Of course, from the holiday of peace and sport, a commercial, politicized event has long been piled up .... EVERYONE tried

[Lord of the Sith]

But who needs that Olympiad, without Russia and without spectators.
A waste of time, all the same, the Yankees rake in more than anyone else, they removed the competitors, the Japs fill them up a bit like the organizers.
That's the whole "Olympiad".

Tokyo Olympics may be postponed for a year or two
====================
Generally cancel the Olympics !!! Why is it needed !? If WADA is completely Sorosos !!!
All countries give the white flag, Russia to give primacy !!! ABOUT!!!

[Magog]

The modern "Olympic movement of Pierre de Coubertin" is in no way like the Olympic Games founded by Christ. Competitions between pharmaceutical companies and political groups of states! Athletes are hostages and slaves of this business and politics ... "Olympiada" is a way of reckoning the Middle Ages for four years, inside which in ancient times "Games Pleasing to the Gods" were held (that's the name of the book - read it!).

=====================
Is it worth delving into the "chronology" ??? When concepts (in the world) have long been lost, honor and dignity.
The world does not stand still. The Olympiad was conceived as a "stronghold" for the rallying of peoples. And what are we watching !?
Sport has been turned into a political field. Not knowing which side to hit the unwanted (sovereignty), cowardly (world organized crime group) began to humiliate Russian athletes. Those who went with a white flag, you can understand - WORKED. (not feeling sorry for himself). And when I write something like that, I immediately realize that some may laugh, saying ... "Quilted jackets" on a wave of patriotism. NO!!! Russians are genetically a noble people. WE are able to empathize. And fight honestly. DO NOT SHOOT IN THE BACK.

[Magog]

Why then call "this" an "Olympiad" and nod at the traditions of the ancient "Olympic Games"? Christ conceived and organized, indeed, noble games of sports art, and not only. He himself participated in them as an archer, an athlete, recited his poems (psalms), etc. New "goals" of modern Olympiads lead to corresponding results with doping, big money, advertising and dirty intrigues around sports. All this "movement" will inevitably soon bend ...

[primala]

What can I discuss !? when (it would seem) Yandex \ Russian browser.
The question begs itself - is that "boy" !? (in terms of ... WHO is behind all this chaos). For example: the comment was written by me in Yandex news.

And what I see.

[Dzafdet]

Our doping was unfoundedly accused? Meldonium banned? So much for the answer. It's time to close all these useless competitions forever ....

[Zoomlion]

But in Belarus with coronavirus everything is clear, no one is sick, everyone is healthy alive) No quarantines and other related activities. Another planet)
