It is funny that they cancelled Beijing, but are still planning to play couple of ATP 250 tourneys and the Shanghai 1000 in China.

If they had real brains in this world, the entire event would have been cancelled! GOLD medals shouldn't be worth collecting/packing every elite athlete in the world into a diseased capital, then send those same elite athletes back home to spread whatever! We're such idiots in this world!

Teams have arrived in Tokyo to stay in their bubble,our Aussie teams have had full COVID vaccinations,they will participate in their fields then fly home,not much of a celebration,remember if they do have spectators,they are not allowed to cheer or shout out,just clap This will be the most strangest Olympics ever held to say the least.

Is that a euphemism?

 

[Moxie]

But, they still think they can run Olympics in Japan.

That's what I was thinking, too.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Is that a euphemism?

No,not at all

That's what I was thinking, too.

Moxie,

The officials are still saying the Olympics will still go ahead,though the Host city will be in a 'state of emergency' throughout the Olympics.Meaning no bars,restaurants can be open,along with spectators.

Novak Djokovic pulls back the curtain on Roger Federer and Wimbledon schedule after Swiss’ run on Centre Court

As I said before, after that pathetic performance in the first round, the organizers must have thought that Fed can lose in any round and so kept putting him on CC (which is actually good logic). It is not because the organizers thought this was his last Wimbledon (which no one knows).

Taking full responsibility for Roger's beatdown, the Duke of Kent steps down as the president of AELTC.
