Oof. That would be a lot of money down the drain. I guess it's too complicated to just bump everyone back 4 years.

Damn, that's a ton of money gone.

Guess it doesn't make much sense to bump it to 2022?

That's so sad! I know the Olympics are a big frigging production but it's really upsetting there was no way to make it work for them. Like, idk, I'm sure it's not really feasible but I personally would've been cool with winter and summer Olympics in the same year in 2022.

That's up to IOC.

What really really sucks is that some athletes are probably getting aged out and this was their last chance.

Japan won't not host the olympics it'll just be kicked down a little later.

The tweet says they'll need to try and get the 2032 bid now.

Surely at the very least they'd get that.

If the IOC has any integrity they'll give it to them for free

Wow I actually thought the 2032 was a typo for 2022, but it makes sense considering how Germaphobic Japan is as a nation in general. Unlike some parts of the US, most parts of East Asian Countries like Korea and Japan actually take this virus seriously.

Yeah, I read that gymnasts in particular generally only have one good shot, and that's it for them.

I often wonder if we are growing as a people... or in fact, regressing.

Does this mean Nintendo has to recall and destroy all copies of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 then?

Should have held the games in 2020 as per tradition while also implementing strict CoViD precautions

Basically no crowds, just athletes, trainers, judges, and medical.

Would be understandable if any elected to sit the games out, but I doubt all athletes wanted that

It has less to do with germaphobia and more to do with them facing increasing numbers of cases themselves.

Agreed. They're the ones who really got the short end of the straw.

That fucking sucks. I dont care for team sports at all but I love the Olympics, and the Winter Games almost more (ice dancing is the absolute SHIT and I will fight a mf for mocking it).

Really sucks for the athletes, many are at their peak during the games and at this point their careers are basically over before they even got a chance to compete. That's super depressing, train their whole lives for nothing

Why not have all the athletes vaccinated or at least do what NBA, NFL, MLB do and test the athletes constantly for COVID. If you have it you cant play
