I don't think they will be many politicians in the UK or USA not in favour of a boycott - and it be the same in most western countries - both the left and right hate China atm.

Could they survive if they lose all that money. If Trump wins the USA might not even be in 2024 if he pulls USOC out of the IOC.

They might care if they lose the likes of the USA, Canada, UK and Japan.

Denver pulled out of hosting 1976 - if savings to pay for the virus are needed 2026 will be one of things they get rid of.

Along with Italy pulling out of hosting 2026.

Will the IOC go bankrupt having to refund all the 2021 tv broadcast and sponership money.

Probally withdraw from 2022 in protest.

I simply don't forsee the BOA ignoring a goverment request to boycott like 1980 - times have changed.

The big difference is funding- i.e they could tell Team GB you go and no lottery funding for 2024 and 2026.

That happened for Sochi didn't it.

You Think Trump and his supporters will be stopped by a contract? I just can't see a lot of IOC Members being happy if the 2020's becomes the new 1980's with the games part of a new cold war.

Also in March MP Alicia Keans called for a boycott to be considered citting Uighurs

Knowing the IOC Bach will forced out by the boycott to be replaced by a chinese puppet as many pro americain ioc members resign

Those few votes might have killed the IOC.- If the USA Pulls out rather than simply boycotting 2022 the organisation might collapse. I honestly think many Americain winter olympians must be preparing mentally for the USOC to boycott 2022.

Through the likelihood is Biden will be facing the extreme right as the leadership of the republicans urging him to go further and further.

Another difference to 1980 is the USA uses economic sanctions a lot more - what happens if any company dealing with the 2022 games faces being bared from trading in the USA and with Americans - that could be a key way other countries get forced into boycotting.

As the Isreal/UAE deal shows there are loads of countries that ultimately will go for the USA vs China if the USA pushes hard enough.

That's because he likes to wind up the rest of the EU.

Here in the UK Boris won't dare refuse to go along with trump - the only factor stopping the UK boycotting if the USA does is if Lord Coe opposes it publicly

Remember for example in 2022 France has elections with Le Pen likely to run on a very anti china platform.
