Aforek Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I am sorry for the Japanese; I imagine that 6 years ago, when their country was chosen, they were very happy ; then spent a lot of money to prepare, then postponed last year and this year no spectators , no money and fear of Covid Olympic games in empty stadiums, how sad !

Yes, no foreign tourists coupled with no local audience (tickets sales) must have been a hard hit. They'll get TV deals cuts but still, they got ripped off badly. That's one more factor to take into account for future candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussies should be allowed to return to their country, but the way the virus gets into the country is via the infrastructure around returned travellers. So stop the travellers, stop the virus, but you can't do that so try and limit the virus getting into the country. That said, Queensland and Aus are wanting the Olympic Games in 11 years and it would have been quite odd for the political leader of Queensland not to present her final summation of the reasons for Queensland to get the games before the final vote of which country gets the games. Of course she should have gone to Japan. Of course more Aussies should be allowed to travel back to Aus. Of course there will be more virus with more travellers. So what do you do? Rock and hard place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
