Last Friday, the Australian Parliament announced that it would freeze its proposal to host the Olympic Games in 2032. Of course, the announcement stems from the Corona crisis and the fear of economic consequences.

The proposal, which was based on hosting in three different countries under the Australian flag, has been the most serious and leading to date. It should be noted that last month, the Indonesian proposal, which was to enter a more advanced stage, was also frozen at least until December due to the Corona epidemic. It should be noted that in the proposals to host the Olympic Games in 12 years, there is also a desire to see South Korea and North Korea hosting the games together.

Thomas Bach, president of the International Olympic Committee, hinted earlier that the current era is not the time to think about hosting the Games in 2032, but the hope is that by 2021 there will already be a decision on the issue. To set an example, and in light of the freeze on Australian Olympic sports, the chairman of the local Olympic committee announced a 20 per cent cross-sectional cut, including his salary.

In addition to the news from Australia, the US Olympic Committee, the world's largest and most important, announced 51 job cuts and 33 senior staff cut to the USF following the Corona crisis. Especially difficult for U.S. Olympic sports.

"It is clear to us that we are disabled from activity not only in the coming weeks, but also in the coming months," the US statement said. The U.S. Olympic Committee posted $ 172 million in profits after the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, and the paper should even increase profits if the Olympic Games take place in Japan next year. 

Last week, the International Olympic Committee announced that it would transfer $ 650 million to Japan's hostages, which have been rejected this summer, as a preliminary compensation for the huge economic damage done to them, valued at more than $ 3 billion. If you're still looking for reasons for optimism, you can find them in Beijing, China, which will host the 2022 Winter Olympics,

And the hosts promise they are going to be the biggest and most impressive winter games. The Games are set to begin in early February, exactly two years for the Corona eruption outside China's borders. Indeed a cause for celebration, at least for the hosts.
