Chic 20,830 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 The Olympians should boycott it. I don’t care if they worked for it their whole lives. I’ve worked to get Chromatica tickets and it might be cancelled Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, friends in Japan have told me that Japan has had its head in the sand with regards to what's going on (not my observation, theirs).

DeleteMyAccount 11,881 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 The Olympics aren't until August. I'm sure they'll go on. At least for the Asian countries because they actually faced the pandemic with swift action... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOSK 640 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Japanese Olympic Committee official calls for postponement of 2020 Tokyo Olympics A member of the Japanese Olympic Committee's executive board has publicly broken ranks with the International Olympic Committee, telling a Japanese news outlet that she believes it is time to postpone the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Kaori Yamaguchi, a retired judo athlete, told Nikkei that she believes the IOC is "putting athletes at risk" by asking them to continue to train, as usual, in the wake of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic — a message that president Thomas Bach and the IOC have communicated to athletes as recently as this week. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/2020/03/19/2020-tokyo-oympics-japanese-official-calls-for-postponement/2881032001/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not safe to be doing that at the moment. “Delete this thread that person is not Gaga he is a hot blonde twink” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(genuinely asking,) And more often than not, I always hear about the debt and the abandonment of most of the Olympic facilities in the hosted countries after the events roll over.
