Do you think this decision is good for the sports and the players and how it will effect the sports betting business ?
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...

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.

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.
Not every country is on quarantine and with travel restrictions but another reason to postpone is that there are indeed many countries seriously affected, so if their athletes would not be able to join the competition for objective pandemic policy reasons, the competition itself would not be fair. I can see that the decision has been made already about the games being postponed, and I believe it's the right decision. Sports betting industry is surely taking a big hit because of the pandemic, but people can still bet on Fantasy sports (right?), play poker and other games. I think that decreasing the number of deaths from the pandemic is currently more important than anything, so some setbacks and restrictions have to be accepted bravely.

I can imagine the athletes will be very disappointed after training so hard to be ready for this time. They will just have to do it all over again for next summer.
If I am one of the player, instead of being disappointed I will just consider myself lucky because I can train myself more to master the game that I will play. I'll just think that I am not yet fit to go on the game because maybe I am missing something on my health. Better to check if I am infected or not. Sometimes, postponement is meant for a more good thing.
Wow. good to see we have an olympics player here, so we can hear your opinion too.

What the government will do is for the best interest of the people, postponing it is the best solution since the virus is still keeping us stay at home.
Also, with the number of people infected and number of people dies, this will take time for us to recover as all of us here are effected mentally and emotionally.

I think you misunderstood him, he said "If I am one of the player", so obviously so he is not an Olympic player.

But I do agree that everyone is affected by the global pandemic, even athletes themselves, just bad timing though that the Covid-19 break out happen this year, affected the biggest sporting events. It can be scheduled later, when everything has settled down and safety has been guaranteed.

Although athletes training peaked in order for them to really performed at the highest level for the Olympics, they could reset their training and adjust. Health is very important for them and I don't think that they would risk performing if ever the Olympic was push through as schedule if the current situation didn't improved.

While I’m not a Athlete but I know someone (via a friend) who was going to participate in the Olympics, and when the news broke out that it was postponed I asked that person wasn’t she disappointed all the hard work gone to waste?. Now before I reveal what she said I have to admit I was absolutely blown by her answer: she told me that she’s an athlete, and her only goal is to win irrespective of the scheduling, nothing has changed for her and it’s training as usual for her. Let’s be honest guys how many of us would have this kind of attitude, and I’ll be honest I don’t have such kind of mindset, but after hearing her reply I guess I definitely have to change my mindset.

The situation with football is worse because competitions that are 75% already completed need to be finished. I will b͔̗͛̃̂́͝e̛̙̪̿̑͡͠ happy when this whole mess is over.

See the irony... almost the entire world is fighting for its very survival and some people are more concerned about sports. We had more than 2,300 new deaths from the COVID 19 epidemic today and probably by the end of the day the number will be close to 3,000. It's t̨͙̠̩̻͛̍̈̍̎͟r̢͚̟͉̣̫̅̓̑͛͂ą͚͖̰͍̇͊̑̅͟͝ǵ̯͈̮̠͙̠͗̊̓͆ĩ̡̬̝͕̱̈̓̚͘͜c͔̟̪͔͇̳̑̉͒̎̒ that a lot of people are yet to realize the seriousness of the situation. Olympics will b̢̪͓͍̉̎̎̊̂̑͘͝e̛͙͎̣̝̎̿̂́̈́͗̌ held in 2021, once the situation is contained. There is no need to complain over it.
I doubt there's someone complaining about the postponement of the Olympics event. We are all lockdown or quarantined in every house so definitely they will understand our situation that is supercritical at the moment. There are already 574,973 confirmed cases around the world and there are chances that it might go 1 million if they didn't control the pandemic level virus.

Athletes will definitely understand it especially they're representing the country and it's good to maintain their good health.

Very good thinking!
Sports competitions, business, money... all these important things are not more important than health and life.
At the moment the situation in the world is not normal but extraordinary and it would be unjustified and selfish to endanger the health and life of athletes or spectators.
I think we should wait for the right moment when everyone will truly be able to enjoy the magic of the Olympics and it certainly isn't now.

More time to use in enhancing your skills, that's a good observation. We don't know if how long this pandemic virus will continue and as of this moment there's no proven cure to stop the spread. It's best decision to postponed everything since the virus can multiple or be transfer in a short period of time
the association's decision is for the compassion of humanity there's no wrong doing it.

most probably next years we still need some stick rules for this all as right now all world is locked down and numbers are increasing very quickly next 1 or 2 years are very important for this all specially gatherings need to be restricted for some more time.
You are over-estimating the impact here. Firstly, a vaccine will be ready sometime next year and majority of the world will probably be vaccinated by the end of 2021 which is why this is an issue for 2020 and 2021 only in my opinion.

3 companies are now doing clinical studies on the effective of the vaccines they created  and it will take 8 to 12 months, so by that time they have already released the vaccine and also by that time countries have set up their own system too contain this virus, but as long as the vaccine is not yet release in the market, the Olympic is unlikely to be held.
The Olympics does not depend on the vaccine. Instead, it depends on whether the virus has been contained and whether the cases have been dropping or not. If the virus is contained, they will definitely go ahead with the Olympics next year.

Also what is the age limit to participate? 16 years or older? These year gives all 15 years old reserve athletes a chance to get in national team Smiley

I think there is no age limit in general. It depends on sports. For example, Basketball, there should be minimum age requirements here. For other sports, maybe the age requirements a̷̛̙̰̩̱͚̽͌̇͡r̜͕̤͉͈̂̀͂̅͝ę̛̜̥̜̣̀̍͂̎ even lower than Basketball. Something like that.

Yes, m̶̝͔̠͑̿́͛ͅí̩̻̙̗̀̋͌n̡̨̘͎͊̍̊̌ị̦̲͈̇̅̋͋m̨̲͖͖̒̇̆͊ũ͉̤̤͊̈́͊͜m̤̗̳̙̓̑̋̓ age, that what I’ve meant to write... I know that in gymnastics artistic  athletes minimum age must be 16, but there are cases when 14-15 (or even younger) cheat their age, participate and win. The idea is that the younger you are, t̛́̓̀̓͠͡h̀̄̍̓͌̾̐ĕ͂̃̃̓̓̈́ flexible your body is.

This 1 year could give a chance for talented kids to try ẗ̃̈́̏̃̊͐̋̿̇͘ö̓́̈́̀͑̃̚̚͝͡ get in Smiley

I think that the impact of COVID-19 will likely reduce by 2021 making it possible for the Tokyo Olympics to resume sometime in 2021. However, it all comes down to how effectively we manage to contain the virus though.

Do you think this decision is good for the sports and the players and how it will effect the sports betting business ?
It is the best decision and it was rumored that the Olympics will be moved to ň̻̂̉͌e̡̔͛͊͊x̧̔̍̋͘t̡͐͐͌̿ year when the situation started getting worse in China and now i̡̨̥̳̜̳͙̩̺̊͟t̨͕̳͚̩̠̩͙̱̔ͅ is a real concern globally as the patient count keeps on increasing and we have crossed over 500000 patience globally and many fighting for their lives and today USA have more patience than any where in the world and there is no clue when this will subside, health is more important than anything else and this is a wake up call for everyone to access their life.
