Why not put Bodybuilding the IFBB has 203 affiliate nations. I'm sure that it has a bigger following than flag football. La Cross has 90. Cricket has 104, so by numbers the bodybuilding has a bigger following. Mr. Olympia is from Iran and the last one was from Egypt. I remember seeing the the seats in Athens for baseball and softball empty.

What happen to cost cutting ? Again the Olympics are getting to big and the costs go up and up. Agenda 2020 a failure.

I was in Milan last week and their was nothing on the winter Olympics didn't even see a countdown clock. It was a good pick for the IOC. I spoke to many locals and they didn't care. Nice pick IOC!

If China invades Taiwan that's the start of the third world war. Tensions in Asia are alright high. Japan would not just be on the side lines and for this South Korea and other nations would also fear an invasion from China. The USA could not go alone in taking on China. So forget it wont happen. Even an economic war would be bad. This would effect athletes for any future competitions in China.

China's treatment of Uighurs
Hong Kong situation
India – China border conflict
China and Japan over the contested Senkaku/Diaoyu islands
Canadian authorities arrested Meng after a request from the United States and faces extradition
China’s political influence in Africa spans numerous approaches that contribute to Beijing’s strategic aims on the continent.
Chinese Government sees Taiwan as a breakaway province that will eventually be part of the country again.
NO ACCOUNTABILITY FOR the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic 2.5 million deaths!
Did I miss anything?
If anyone thinks that there will be a boycott of 2022 winter Olympics.
Think again.
The Red Dragon means business.

Their will be no boycotts because Xi Jinping will not allow it. This is a threat from him.

Someone forward this to me. My maybe Canada has some guts? That will be the day. Canada isn't a factor. WOO see China they are scared. Besides I think China owes most of the oil sands. And can someone in Canada confirm that most of housing boom in Vancouver is "outside" money beside I don't Canada wants to upset China.

BEIJING STRIKES BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One year to go. And Bach said the following?
“Having seen how China is overcoming the coronavirus crisis, we are very confident that our Chinese hosts will ensure safe and secure Olympic Games in full cooperation with the IOC. Every time that I have visited China, I am so impressed by the enthusiasm and support for the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022. This is why, we can say already now with great confidence: China is ready. Ready to welcome the world’s best winter sports athletes for unforgettable Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022. We all are looking forward to this global celebration of sport.”
Is he serious overcoming the coronavirus? How about if Tokyo is cancelled make China pay Japan.
Is the NHL going to send its players considering its lost revenue on two seasons?
This is not 2008. With over 400,000 deaths in the US, I can see many objecting send athletes to Beijing. I told a co worker today that it was one year until the winter Olympics. She asked "where is it being held?" I told her Beijing, I will not put down what she said after. Yes she lost someone close to COVID.

Maybe that's what the IOC needs so they can get out of their 20th century way of thinking.

Another Athens?

It took an Aussie to tell like it is, Come on world get with it. Over a trillions of dollars lost in economic activity. China hasn't take the responsibility for Covid 19. Their will be a huge public outcry to boycott if Coivd doesn't go away. The WHO still hasn't declare the pandemic over.

Arab boycott of 2024
in General Olympics Discussion

With the conflict in the Middle East is their a possibility that the Arab league or Arab countries might boycott the the Paris games if Israel attends, or will Israel not attend because of security reasons. Paris does have a large Arab community and this conflict wont be resolved quickly.
