Probably not, but I haven't watched the olympics in 20 years, so IDC either way.

Largely indifferent but I don't think it should forced on the locals if they don't want it.

Nah fuck that. I love the Olympics.

Grew up watching them and still watch them now. Seeing the peak of human physical achievement, as a human myself, makes me proud of all of us.

I might stop watching once we find aliens and they compete and beat all the humans in every event.

It's really a perfect shit storm. Japan's population is largely made up of the most vulnerable people. Most of the population is unvaccinated. Japan's survival has only been successful due to being an island and having a mask positive population.

At this point it's too late. They shouldn't have pushed the rock off the cliff, but now it's better to watch it roll down and clean up the mess, rather than try to stop it while it's rolling.

Pretty much these. They should never have gone ahead, but stopping it now would arguably be more disruptive than letting an outbreak happen. They're just going to have to do what they can to keep everything contained.

they should just cancel the olympics in general because the olympics committee is one of the most corrupt sports orgnaizations in the world, second only to FIFA

They should have pushed everything back by a few years. Instead they're hurting Japan while making the event shit, so that everything else can stay on track.

In general, they can't really "cancel" it due to the commitments involved and the fact it would really fuck over the host country and tons of businesses, as well as the potential lawsuits involved.

They attempted to "mitigate" the problem by prohibiting non-Japanese from the audience, but the vaccination rate in Japan is still pretty low regardless.

They skipped one games for WW1 (1916). They skipped two for WW2 (1940,1944)

Eh I read the wikipedia page wrong. I thought the 1964 Tokyo Olympics were a reschedule of the 1940 Tokyo Olympics.

You actually werent wrong in what you said though. It was 12 years between Berlin in 36 and London in 48.

They took the summer games Tokyo and the winter games out of Sapporo. They would return to Tokyo in 64 and Sapporo in 72.

They still have not ruled out cancelling it.

They should, too many media tropes of the disaster at the 2020 Olympics (Literally every Japanese anime set after 2020)
