Brawndo Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Not surprising in the least. A postponement of the Games would be a smart move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Smart move. Honestly, even if I exclude the games being in China, the tournament was a disaster waiting to happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 And there it is. I will be shocked if China postpones the games and somewhat less shocked if the IOC does it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope McDonald's China doesn't have a lot of promotional tickets out there. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthEbriate Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 The odds of Team China medaling are still 3720:1.

World Juniors is great to watch. Olympics are one of the few best on best tournaments. I’m not a fan of shootouts to decide these championships though. I am glad they are not going, there would have been positive tests and a lot of drama around quarantining, travel, pay checks etc… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds fun. You have to start somewhere. Give them 10-15 years. They have 1.5B people to draw from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
