Maracanã 2014 Summer Fairy Tale 2006 – there are ciphers for sports events, the combined half the world. Just as the joyful games of Sidney 2000, Barcelona in 1992, the Winter Games in the Norwegian idyll Lillehammer in 1994 or the first football World Cup in South Africa of 2010.
The Olympic Games and Football World Cup can be great events, sports can cross borders, connecting people. But over the next decade Sport fans will have little joy. From fun sports are discussions about human rights, of enthusiasm, the question of the profiteers of the Games. This is what the decision of the IOC, the Winter Games in 2022 in Beijing discharge.
While claiming the Chinese candidates, their games would nature and conserve costs. But they can tell people who keep the IOC for a non-profit association. Snow falls in Beijing namely hardly ever, high mountains, there are not. Many competitions are held on artificial snow, removed four hours drive from Beijing. What a fake! The powers of the sport but will say all good, no problem, the Chinese get the out. What the sports powerful waste no words, is politics. And that is we spoil the games powerful.
In Rio it stinks, in Tokyo rising costs
China has returned under Xi Jinping to the cult of the leader. Oppositionists, artists and lawyers are imprisoned, workers’ rights restricted. Maybe go where the Olympic village is, two weeks before the opening nor the infamous execution buses pass. Since 2003, they are in operation, from the outside they look like ambulances. The mobile hangman cars have seats for judges and prosecutors. Experts estimate the number of executions in China to more than 5,000 per year, the preferred discipline is the way of the shot in the neck. Beijing is an extreme example, but no exception
Beautiful views are also available for the upcoming matches not: In Rio it stinks – no good omen for the Summer Games of 2016. In the water in which sailed, rowed. and to be swum, Floating garbage and dead animals. By this, the organizers will change until next year not much. 2018, see the Winter Games held in South Korea’s Pyeongchang. However, the South Koreans do not care much for winter sports, but rather the IOC sponsor Samsung. And in Tokyo, the site of the Summer Games in 2020, has been discussed for months, especially on immense construction costs.
laxity of the IOC against dictators
The next two Football world championships could be sinister affairs. In hardly any other country racism is so widespread and tolerated as in Russia in the stadiums. And since the latest Sochi 2014 is clear that the government events such as these like politically abused: Before the Games Putin tightened laws against gays and lesbians, shortly after the closing ceremony he sent green men to the Crimea. And Qatar, venue for 2022? A single annoyance for all.
This is also due to the soft attitude of the International Olympic Committee against the dictators in the world.
IOC chief Bach retaliates in China
As the Beijing Games in 2008 austrug promised the IOC, the human rights situation in China would improve thereby. Human rights organizations point but that the number of arrests, repression and executions in 2008 rose. The fencer Imke Duplitzer which had then denied the opening ceremony and been critical of China, was prevented from entering the country later. Her career suffered from China, without comment by the IOC.
Perhaps the IOC informed us sports fans better of it and puts pressure on China that the country is better dealt with his people. The power would have the sport to do so. But the policy of the chief Thomas Bach does not indicate. More likely, he even finds the winner Beijing well. The country had supported him in his election as president in 2013.
