In a universe where Covid-19 never left the Communist hellhole known as China, the world would have looked forward to the Summer Olympic games in Tokyo, Japan, as of yesterday.

But it's all just a dream until they try again next year (unless it gets cancelled again).

outside this thread, there's no mention of the games

I was looking forward to the Olympics more than the Euro Championships. Surprised with the money in football that they never went ahead, considering pretty much every league has restarted £££££££££££.

By the way, either it was total coincidence , but the last time an Olympic games was cancelled was in 1940, when Japan was also expected to host the games.

If I was a conspiracy theorist, China made the virus to sabotage Japan. In which case, it's pay back time?

When else are you ever gonna watch countries you've barely heard of battle it out in archery.
Or shotputting.

Don't worry, it's got just as many viewers this year as it usually does

Those are pussy drugs

I want to see a roid head, smacked up on Meth, Speed, wizz, coke and LSD take on the weights. Basically, Bane doing a dead lift. And i would use convicted murderers as the athletes, that way we can use some crazy arse experimental gene-altering shit. I want to see a half-man-half-bear-half-pig go apeshit on a running track, or some human/cricket/rabbit/flea hybrid to the high jump. And if they die, well, who cares? All money made from sponsorship and donations goes to the victims' family/s. All research and cures discovered can go to saving lives, so the murderer repays his debts.

Everyone is a winner

But where am I supposed to go for my dose of horse dancing? (Which is an olympic sport, beats me why though.)

 

[EverydayBeast]

Nothing is like the Olympic atmosphere hopefully they deliver next year

 

[Mohonky]

I'd forgotten about it, they still on later?

Delayed till next year.

Although some Japanese are beginning to protest it from being held.

Anti-Olympic protest held in Tokyo

Several dozen protesters in masks gathered in front of Japan's National Stadium on Friday, the day the Olympic Games should have begun, to protest against holding them next year given the danger of the novel coronavirus. The Games were postponed in March as the coronavirus swept the world and the…

Meh. The olympics are lame anyways. Especially the summer olympics. Ooo someone ran faster than someone else. At least the winter olympics have badass stuff like ripping down an ice halfpipe in a metal tube.

Call me when they bring back rad shit like chariot races and pankration.

Those are both equally lame.

I was supposed to be living in Tokyo now...a goal i had since going in 2004 and falling for that city, ive spent the last 15 years working towards. I was excited to be living there the year of the Olympics. Finally last year i got a job there, was turned down by immigration first for not having a college degree...then corona virus hit and all applications were turned down. Now im just sitting in this tiny ass gross apt in LA waiting for the process to reopen again , considering travel ANYWHERE is closed and doesnt look to open maybe ever again...

Thanks a fucking lot China
