Smart move.

Honestly, even if I exclude the games being in China, the tournament was a disaster waiting to happen.

And there it is.

 

I will be shocked if China postpones the games and somewhat less shocked if the IOC does it.

 

What's the record for most golds & most total medals at a single Winter Olympics?  Those records might be in jeopardy.

Yeah, this could be a 1984 situation.  I hope McDonald's China doesn't have a lot of promotional tickets out there.

Hope they do.  Would serve 'em right.

Good we don't have to hear smug Canada insiders and writers gloating after winning a 1st round game in the Olympics 14-2

Fake news.

Sometimes a team like Latvia gives Canada quite the run though.

The odds of Team China medaling are still 3720:1.

Until! the entirety of Teams Kazakhstan and Poland find themselves in quarantine right before the medal round.

China has a hockey team? Does China have other hockey or just the national team? Is there a PRC CHL (People's Republic of China, Communist Hockey League)?

National team because host nation and all that.  I think they had a KHL team, too (Marvin's video reminded me).

Also, all I can find on "blancmange" is a dessert.

World Juniors is more entertaining IMO.   

Won't miss the Olympics.   

World Juniors is great to watch. Olympics are one of the few best on best tournaments. I’m not a fan of shootouts to decide these championships though.

I am glad they are not going, there would have been positive tests and a lot of drama around quarantining, travel, pay checks etc…

So a bunch of Canadians with Chinese heritage making up a team that probably can't beat the AHL all stars. Sounds fun. 

You have to start somewhere. Give them 10-15 years. They have 1.5B people to draw from.
