Wonder if male women will be allowed to compete in women events?

I do find it interesting that most Olympics take 6 years to plan and build and governor DeSantis feels they can do it in 6 months.

Japan gas decided no overseas spectators. Can they make enough money just on television rights?

Wonder how many countries won't participate due to covid? If they're very many and with no spectators it would seem pretty dumb to host it in Japan.

They did not say 'no spectators', just none from overseas. I suppose that will leave more seats for people in Japan, competing athletes and coachs.
Bummer for top surfer prospect, I didn't even know it was an event.

The timing is absolutely criminal....Still dealing with this scamdemic nonsense after already postponing for over a year?

I think it is all based on testosterone levels. I wonder how taking the female hormones they do effect that? Can they just take an extra dose and it will temporarily get them in range when they had used high levels of testosterone to build the strength, speed and endurance needed to compete? How anyone thinks this is fair is beyond me. I think a transgender still has all their original equipment. They become a transsexual when things are added and removed. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

They should just cancel the games entirely....much better fear-porn optics.

So are ticket holders to be reimbursed?
What about airline tickets and hotel reservations?

Television viewers will still enjoy the competition, but for Japan the entire event will be an embarrassment.
* Japan has never been a nation that surrendered easily.
