Athletes' village reopens with 1 week to go to Tokyo Paralympics

Here's to hoping that there are no incidents or infections!

And yet they go on with this farce.

Round 2 of the cardboard beds!

What happened to the thought to cancel the para olympics and turn the village into medical wards for covid patients?

Never crossed their mind. It is not like we are lacking room for patients, most people have a home so : no problem.

The Olympic was a great success. Covid-19 was insignificant and Japanese athletes did well. As a result, the 64% of Japanese people supported the events. Hopefully the success continues.

Don't support events for disabled athletes?

Who had this "thought"?

Who had this "thought"?

Best of my knowledge it was a representative of the Japan Communist Party.

It was a great idea, putting the needs of the many over those of the IOC and a handful of athletes, which is probably why it was ignored.
