With just over a month until the Beijing Winter Olympics opening ceremony the CEO of the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) said he is increasingly concerned if the Games can go ahead as planned.
Workers attach signage near Big Air Shougang, a competition venue for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing - With just over a month until the Beijing Winter Olympics opening ceremony the CEO of the Canadian Olympic Committee said he is increasingly concerned if the Games can go ahead as planned.
"But we're taking it day-by-day and wake up every morning to make sure that is how we still feel about it." Shoemaker said that if the COC believes athlete safety is compromised it will not hesitate to pull the plug on Beijing as it did in March 2020 when they decided not to send a team to the Tokyo Summer Olympics if they were to go ahead as scheduled."We have yet to have a conversation with the IOC about postponement but we're having conversations on a very frequent basis with the participating winter sport nations and it may well come up," said Shoemaker.
"Medical experts agree, and the consensus point of view is that it may well be that the safest place from Omicron in February will be the Olympic bubble in Beijing," said Shoemaker.
