I just came to know that there is another thread 💰 Summer Tokyo 2020 💰 Discussion and bet thread 💰 Summer Game for Olympics 2020 Discussion, so I am locking this one to prevent duplicate posts and spam. Thanks
governments forbid any kind of gatherings including sports events. i'm sure olympics will also be postponed. there is a travel bann, i don't think they'd risk athletes while covid19 still is killing people.
It was already postponed. And agree to this man, no one would allow that as Olympics gather so much people not just hundreds but a thousand of supporters, and watchers from different kind of community/country we didn't even knew if they carry the killer virus. About such decision, it is best option they only got, and beside fellow participants would be hesistant to participate, and more likely they would withdraw it if it will be continue despite the huge terrifying crisis happpening around. And talk about the sports betting business, well, they would get badly affected by it there is no choice but to accept it, cause it is what it is, it is the reality they have to face rather than to sacrifice health matters over businesses.
It is very likely that Olympics may be postponed this year and maybe shifted to 2021.
it would most likely be postponed until a vaccine has been made and majority of the population has been vaccinated and the threat of the current virus is gone.
Do you think this decision is good for the sports and the players
yes, it is the best decision for this situation. the safety of all players and those who will watch the Olympics is the priority.
and how it will effect the sports betting business ?
the obvious thing is sport betting houses will have a reduced income during this pandemic. but overall? sports betting business will do just fine.
Yes it is good, it is a good decision that Japan has made. It can make sure that the athletes are safe and also the countries that they belongs is safe as well. It all for the players health , 2021 is a bit too long but we can assure that Virus is gone by that time, and it cant infect anymore. They can take rest now since of the lockdown but agony will be there.
Yes because if they push it even if there's a pandemic happening for sure it will contribute for the global spread since the athlete's came globally, and 2021 is a good decision since possibly we cannot see the virus existing at that year and its good for the athletes to prepare for their competitions.

There were talks about certain events on Olympics proceeding but I agree that it is of utmost importance that it is postponed due to the lingering threat of the pandemic still beyond us. Even though Japan has already flattened the curve and only a handful new cases are being recorded, still it is not smart to risk everyone's health and well-being for the sake of continuing the tradition. They have given a definite time-frame for the Olympics to be held, so I'm pretty sure that they are coordinating with everybody to make this still a possibility.
Japan really can handle this pandemic as they are some rumors that Japan already have a medicine that is effective for treating the Covid-19 it is the Japanese Flu Drug. It is not yet official that it will supply all the countries that are affected by the Covid-19. But the thought that they can contribute in making a solution for this pandemic is really overwhelming. It is more likely that after this virus, the Olympics will surely continue and all countries will participate and will compete comfortably without any trace of the virus. It's somehow okay that the Olympics is postponed because it is for the safety of all and we need to overcome first this virus before going back to normal.
Some athletes have arrived in Japan fairly recently, though I think they were placed under quarantine and would be sent home since the sporting event has since been postponed.
Even if you're infected or not, but if you're came out from other country, you should be in a quarantine for how many days. It is for the safety of the family and friends of those athletes so that they are confidently sure that they are not infected. Quarantine is necessary so that you will be observed for some progressive symptoms of the Covid-19, but if you are really safe from the virus they you are good. Athletes must be healthy as this pandemic is progressively increasing because their career is dependent on their health so they need to take care of their own.
When the situation is chaotic like this I think business matters would be better to be put aside first because this pandemic is more dangerous than anything and even an athlete or athlete who clearly has a healthy lifestyle is still vulnerable to this virus and many have been affected in every country at least in different sports. So there is no good reason to keep organizing the Olympics at a time like this and it would be better for all schedules to be postponed until the pandemic really ends.
Certainly it was clear No as this pandemic is going to be along then what it was felt before because the way it has started to wide spread in US in last couple of days this intensifies that countries where it started later if they do not isolate or lockdown it is going to be a bigger concern for the world as more and more people would be affected by it. Also due to no vaccine available there is no choice other than lockdown or being at home itself. So it has to be next year only now.
I think that Olympics would be hard to be done in 2021 as well.
Next year this period we are going to be on the same situation as we are now, because we are not going to have the vaccine available or it will be in the early stages of trying...
Guys, there's already a thread about the Olympics in this secion with a way better OP and much more info thx to @coinlocket$. That one was created in september last year, which makes this thread that was created 5 days ago completely unnecessary.
@virasog c'mon bro, close this thread, there's no need to have two threads about the same event. You're incentivizing spam if you keep it open.

A little update just now.
The 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games is now set on July 23 to August 8 in the year 2021. Although the games will be held in the year 2021, it will still be called Tokyo Olympics 2020.
Let us all pray that this pandemic that we are facing right now will be gone very soon so that the athletes especially those who are infected will resume their training and preparation for the 2020 Olympics.

Oh well, we don't know yet if this pandemic virus will be cured from that period. Since as of now the spread still reaching more countries and affecting more people without real solutions. Those who recovered from this disease are people who've got stronger immune system and no real medicine that's been discovered yet, but hopefully after a year we'll be able to see progress..The 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games is now set on July 23 to August 8 in the year 2021.

that this Olympics will surely be postponed or delay once again knowing on how big the crowd is when it comes to this event.We know that its forbidden to have
that kind of gatherings because we know that we are on a middle of pandemic and its just questionable if this big event would happen on the said date in spite
of the big problem we are facing on.

Good move. No need to rush as the Olympics commences every 4 years.
Yes, it affects the qualifying period at each sport but it doesn't matter anymore since all major sports events are canceled.

Those who recovered from this disease are people who've got stronger immune system and no real medicine that's been discovered yet, but hopefully after a year we'll be able to see progress..
At that period, we can expect, at least the situation is now stabilized or being controlled. Somehow there are people who got recovered even without the actual medicine against this virus.
It's not about the virus should now be curable on that period but what matters here is, the infection was now controlled. In the first place, all the family virus of Covid-19 are not curable up to now but the spread is now controlled. We want that to happen as even the cure will be made now, it's impossible to accommodate all infected persons.
Reducing the numbers of infected people is a key for a business to get back on track while experts are finding a way to formulate a medicine.

We are already feeling the sports betting effects even now with the house quarantines in the world.
I guess the one's gaining now are the casino types of games like dicing, poker and roulette.
Well, the Olympics is all about the world competing with each other which most likely will end up in a good sportsman relation.
Now, we could still do that by helping each other in times of need. This virus could be telling something to the world. No more war.

Of course, they should not be careless when making such a decision because we cannot guarantee people's safety nowadays and postponing it, is a great idea. This will only take us one year to wait to watch some great games in the Olympics and in fact, this will give the athletes more time to practice to come up with their great condition in the game next year. The businesses will get their comeback after this dramatic loss but I'm sure they're not gonna give up after this.

This is exactly the situation, during a chaotic situation when nothing is clear on how we will find a solution to stop the virus the only known solution we have right now is to stay at home and secure your life, nothing is more important than life itself and the Olympic association has come up with the right decision and so does the rest of the sporting world as you cannot take a risk and be irresponsible in these dangerous situation. 
It is very likely that Olympics may be postponed this year and maybe shifted to 2021.
Do you think this decision is good for the sports and the players and how it will effect the sports betting business ?

No brainer for this one.
All events that would have a big crowd will surely suspended 101%.We have seen that NBA,big leagues had already been postponed due to current pandemic.
So expect for this one to be moved out on next year or when this problem would get resolved.It would be just too dumb to think for organizers of said event
if they would push through in spite on the current condition we are facing on.
Effect on sports betting business? Its a sure loss but they cant do anything about it since this one is the major effect not only on gambling industry but
also on others as well.

and i think this is the best date for the Olympics to take place but the problem is Will be the Corona Virus be Defeated by that time?because until now there are no Antidote available.

Not only fantasy sports but some real football leagues like the one in Belarus are still playing and they can be bet on
Of course, the choice is very limited at the moment but I think it's clear to everyone that this is not a normal situation and that there are much more important things than betting and sport now.
I guess that all major competitions such as the Olympics or European Football Championships will be moved in the summer of next year.
First let's change the title to
- [postponed] Olympics 2020 Discussion Thread
Or
- Olympics 2021 Discussion Thread
And the sport betting business is no more this season apparently...
- [postponed] Olympics 2020 Discussion Thread
Or
- Olympics 2021 Discussion Thread

Actually, there's no further discussion need about the Olympics since we already anticipate that the event will be postponed even before this thread was created. Not surprising in the first place since all major events from any sports are also canceled and postponed.
Second, if the title will be changed to the 2021 discussion thread, then better lock this for now. There's no official update when this event will likely take place so if ever there's an update now, this thread can now be bump again.
Let's hope for the best. We want to see the world again on its usual.
