Weightlifting hasn't helped its case with how the women's competition will be run this cycle.

So pleased to see Sweden take rapinoe down a peg or three (nil).

...and in results just to hand, Sweden wins their opening match against the US. Great result, congratulations to Sweden.

Either the virus is dangerous and so there should have been NO sporting events over the last few months, or it is more like the flu in terms of casualties and sporting events, including the Olympics, should go ahead WITH fans (otherwise, there's very little point and the whole thing should have been cancelled). This whole debacle was not even Japan's fault (the virus didn't originate from Japan) and yet Japanese citizens have to pick up almost the entire tab for zero benefits, now not even being able to attend their own games. What an insult! Why was it not possible to simply put the whole schedule back one cycle? Why couldn't Paris and LA be made to wait a while longer as well, instead of ONLY Japan having to suffer for something it didn't cause? It almost goes without saying that the next winter games should be cancelled immediately and a new host found.

Gloves are off, WTP. History is not on your side.

I am very interested in getting vaccinated with a well-studied vaccine, which is proven to have minimal short- and long-time side effects.

Me too.

What's the point? The babies are just going to end up as the objects of one of china's nefarious 'claims'. Japan should stop falling for this 'panda diplomacy'.

Very good question, Shinichi Hamada, but I suspect you are not going to get a straightforward answer here.

One more reason not to be a volunteer.

@japantrojan, YES, exactly this. Thank you, J-govt!

Great articles. Need to be read by everyone, particularly those in the J-government.

Pass.

More woke propaganda, no doubt at the behest of detestable ceo joyce who has a habit of using his bully pulpit to push his personal ideology, threatening that those who don't agree with him will be shut out of everyday society. I will never fly qantas while this nasty little corporate dictator is at the helm.

@Goodlucktoyou, and so they should cancel next year's winter games, considering where this whole virus/pandemic mess started.

Genetically, a woman is someone whose cells have two x chromosomes, while males have one x and one y. Semenya has one x and one y chromosome and so should compete with those who also have one x and one y. Anything else is manifestly unfair to women, who do not have the y chromosome and all the physical advantages that come with that.

Will this app end up being compulsory in order to travel anywhere?

I'm fine with whatever the JG proposes, as long as I am given a non-coerced choice as to whether to receive this experimental jab or not.
