It would be a great pity if there is no public at this event. Many athletes have been living here for 4 or maybe 8 years. With support in the hall and stadiums, some athletes rise above themselves. Maybe it can still be decided to admit the public if the virus can be kept under control? It is only difficult to isolate the athletes if there is an audience. Or very strict access controls. Antigen test eg could be useful but very expensive and very time consuming.

Every time I think about that time zone difference, I get really upset. It will be impossible to watch any sport, as spoilers will be in social media, tv news, any general news resource in the internet. Spoilers everywhere…
This ends up always being a problem for someone in the world. It is impossible for all games to be played on a schedule that suits everyone.
It is true that when competitions take place in Europe, it is easier to have a schedule that is more accessible to everyone in the world. But, they cannot happen in Europe. When you go to Asia or even the Americas, this management becomes more complicated.
Now, the annoying thing is the person until wanting to see the test, even recorded, and then at some point in the news we saw the result.

I have completely forgotten the pain in the ass I've got while watching previous Winter games due to time zone… Beijin has almost identical local time as Pyeongchang… I guess I am going to miss all that juicy live hockey matches and races. But, it will be easy to spot who is following Olympic games and who is not by the light in the window

Yeah, I think only diplomats and politics from Western countries will boycott games and yeah, it's not big deal, nobody will miss them there. I think something similar happened in 2014 Olympics in Sochi were diplomats from some country also didn't attend games. It's not case like 1980 or 1984 Olympics were atheletes from some countries didn't participated in it.
Countries politics have major role in joining a specific sports event or not. AFAIK, USA is coming to attend this Olympics and boycott of this Olympics will defiantly give benefit to China as they will be able to grab more gold. Last time in 2018 winter Olympics, China was able to get only one gold medal.

To the olympics: As far as i know only diplomats are boycotting the games and no athletes so far. So that is not that big of a deal for me.

Some countries decides to boycott the games. Is team US comming? As it is in Chine, I bet China will get most of the medals these year. I am going to watch ice hockey, biathlon and bobsleigh. Any curling fun here?
I think it's very unlikely that China will lead medal table, they're not good at winter sports. Most likely it will be usual suspects like Sweden, Norway, USA, Canada, Germany.And Olympics is only time in 4 years when I tune in to watch curling
. Main sport for me is hockey and biathlon.

I am also wondering if this would really push through because of the pandemic, not to mention the new variant that has been recorded to have an increasing case in many countries as of today. Let’s just wait for the coming days, closer to the said date, to see if this will be actually happening.

There is positive development from USA as they are going to attend these games starting in Feb 2022. The aim of games is to promote harmony and friendship among countries. There are 18 officials that have applied for 3 months visa, these officials also include persons who will look after security matters.

It is official by this week, I forgot to update here.
Cina decided to ban all foreign spectators in China.
It will be allowed only for mainland people with vaccines to watch the game and support the players.

Thats fine I believe the Beijing 2022 Winter Games are being boycotted (and very rightly so) by many other countries. China is acting like a child saying that they will only allow their own people to watch? Ha. Ok. The fact that China has commited a multitude of human rights violations (Genocide on Uyghurs and polical prisoners like Falon Gong, Human organ harvesting from said political prisoners and much more...)
I definitely will not be watching the games in China.
So many people only listen to only one TV news channel and accepted it as a fact when all the Muslims in the middle east actually appreciate what China had been doing to the Uyghurs for they funded the community well. The news TV where you heard that Uyghurs are being murdered is lying to you. They couldn't stand China becoming successful in business now they are undermining it.
If they are so cruel, why don't the world police strike at them but only boycott the olympics? That's a peony's way of saying we hate you.
I don't want to discuss to much politics in here but i would say that the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle here. I read that when the first chinese (han-chinese) people moved to uyghur territory a few decades ago because they simply wanted to live they, they were threatened and even attacked by the uyghurs for no reason. Then China sent a lot of police and military in that region and from that point on everything just got out of control. I do think though that those camps where innocent uyghurs are kept to re-educate them are of course not ok.

I thought that all the Olympics including Winter Olympics is going to be hosted in the same country? Also, why is Winter delayed by about two years? Is it because of something about when it started or something much more historical reason?
For as long as I can remember the winter and summer games have always been held in different countries.
Both winter and summer games take place every 4 years this way every 2 years we will have either one or the other.
The only recent peculiarity occurred this year due to Covid and the postponement of the summer games for a year.
It's just so frustrating that the summer games have been canceled for over a year when in fact, lots of countries have prepared for it already. I hope that it would resume soon so players who prepared for it could showcase their skills and talents in their perspective sports of choice again. This winter game will surely be exciting since we've all waited for it despite the pandemic.

Not wanting to get into political issues, because that's not even the topic.
China has a military power, which everyone knows that by attacking them, the retaliation will be very strong and unscrupulous. Then attacking China would cause a global crisis for the products we consume. China is currently the factory in the world, for a good few months, we didn't have many products in the midwives. Anyway, no matter how much attack power you might have, even if you were superior to the Chinese, the one who lost the most was the western world.
Exactly the point there. American businessmen are investing in China. Ruining this country will destroy everything but why make them the bad guy at the same time when the news is not really true. Boycotting alone is just the most childish thing in the world to do. If they are doing that, then it's close to politicizing this event.
They are announcing diplomats not to go there as if they are invited. They are not invited to this Olympics, it's for the athletes.

NHL confirmed that they won't let their players to play in 2022 Olympics. Main reason of it is covid19, there is big number of infected players in most of teams that they even had to stop season for a week.
It's sad news because hockey is one of main events of Olympic Games and same like in 2018 it won't have it's biggest stars.

This is bad news for us, even meh China is more secure than the US for COVID.
I hope the game will be played and not postponed, as Italian I'm hyped for the female skier Sofia Goggia who is dominating right now.
45 days at the start.
I hope it will still be pushed through. Is the reason for these players really because of Covid or because of the influence which the Beijing Olympics is boycotted?
So many people are already traveling everywhere besides this country is promoting themselves, they wouldn't want anything unsafe to happen in the event. But it's not surprising because 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow was also boycotted.

These winter olympic games are really going to be pretty weird without some of the main stars. In addition to many having to go to China earlier because of the quarantine, some of the good athletes run the risk of not being able to participate if they become infected.
What's more, the games will take place on the date that could be the peak of this new wave of the pandemic that is affecting the entire world.

Expect the worst as we are still in this pandemic era, now, that there is another variant spreading fast. I think, we need to accept the fact that these coming years will be a challenge not only to sports industry but all the other industries. Basically, we need to survive and surpass this pandemic. So these other entertainments will just be a plus to us. There are other times that we will see a better day in sports.

the host country should expect this situation to happen as this new omicron variant is already starting to spread the panic among global population. we don't know the extent of its impact in the upcoming months but some countries are getting very strict again with their borders. so high likely, that if in case this winter olympics will push thru with their target dates, the spectators will be very limited in attendance.
another quiet olympics maybe. just watch the events on home screen.
