With only more than a month until the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics CEO of the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) said he was increasingly worried if the match could continue as planned.
“We are worried,” Coo Coo David Shoemaker told CBC in the New Year’s Eve interview.
“We are sure that these games can still be securely scheduled.” But we took it everyday and woke up every morning to make sure we still felt it.
“The National Hockey League (NHL) last month said it would not send players to the male ice hockey tournament quoted a” deep interference “pandemic to its schedule.
On Saturday NHL has delayed 90 matches for reasons related to Covid-19.
Other winter sports too Experienced a disruption of events that functions as an Olyimpijika qualification, including Alpine skiing, Bobsleigh and Curling.
Shoemaker said that if COC believed the safety of athletes compromised would not hesitate to pull the plug in Beijing as in March 2020 when they decided not to send a team to the Summer Olympics Tokyo if they go ahead on schedule.
Tokyo’s game is then delayed for one year.
“We haven’t had a conversation with the IOC (International Olympic Committee) about delays but we are having a conversation at a very frequent base with the country’s sports countries Participate and may appear, “Shoemaker said.
Abstentions The biggest Iran at this time for the CoC is to make athletes become Beijing bubbles without testing positive for Covid-19 and facing quarantine three to five weeks in China.
“Medical experts agree, and the consensus point of view is that it is possible that the safest place from Omicron in February will be an Olympic bubble in Beijing,” Shoemaker said.
“The real challenge for us for the next 30 days is how we ensure that Canadian participants can get to Beijing without signing a virus and therefore can test the negative to enter the scenario.”
