IOC Executive Says 2022 Winter Games Might Not Have Spe…

The winter Games are scheduled to begin in February.

Beijing 2022 organizers

haven’t said anything about whether foreign or domestic spectators will be allowed to attend.

As of now, China’s borders

are closed to international tourists in most circumstances, and the country is currently fighting to contain an outbreak that now counts hundreds of cases across 15 provinces.

The situation in China, both with respect to Covid and to the Olympics, is moving quickly.

Two weeks ago, the head of the IOC’s coordination commission

told Reuters that the 2022 Winter Games needs spectators to be successful, saying, “We would like to have the international community there.”

In the interview with BTV, Dubi also

addressed the question of athletes’ political protests at the Tokyo Games, the result of a newly relaxed IOC rule.

The same guidelines and freedoms will apply in Beijing, he said.

“We have an Olympic Charter and a host city contract that establish the conditions for participation, and everything that is in the charter will be respected, I guarantee that,” he said.
