Olympics 2020 Discussion Thread

Yes it is good, it is a good decision that Japan has made. It can make sure that the athletes are safe and also the countries that they belongs is safe as well. It all for the players health , 2021 is a bit too long but we can assure that Virus is gone by that time, and it cant infect anymore. They can take rest now since of the lockdown but agony will be there.

Yes because if they push it even if there's a pandemic happening for sure it will contribute for the global spread since the athlete's came globally, and 2021 is a good decision since possibly we cannot see the virus existing at that year and its good for the athletes to prepare for their competitions.

It is very likely that Olympics may be postponed this year and maybe shifted to 2021.

it would most likely be postponed until a vaccine has been made and majority of the population has been vaccinated and the threat of the current virus is gone.

Do you think this decision is good for the sports and the players

yes, it is the best decision for this situation. the safety of all players and those who will watch the Olympics is the priority.

and how it will effect the sports betting business ?

the obvious thing is sport betting houses will have a reduced income during this pandemic. but overall? sports betting business will do just fine.

governments forbid any kind of gatherings including sports events. i'm sure olympics will also be postponed. there is a travel bann, i don't think they'd risk athletes while covid19 still is killing people.

It was already postponed. And agree to this man, no one would allow that as Olympics gather so much people not just hundreds but a thousand of supporters, and watchers from different kind of community/country we didn't even knew if they carry the killer virus. About such decision, it is best option they only got, and beside fellow participants would be hesistant to participate, and more likely they would withdraw it if it will be continue despite the huge terrifying crisis happpening around. And talk about the sports betting business, well, they would get badly affected by it there is no choice but to accept it, cause it is what it is, it is the reality they have to face rather than to sacrifice health matters over businesses.
