The US National Figure Skating Championships are held every year, cancelling the Olympics would not change anything.

They should move the Olympics- not cancel them- but they won’t.

I trained all my adolescent life into my early 20’s for the Olympics (decathlon). I still remember my outrage when impotent jimmy carter boycotted the Moscow games. Its different now from when i trained in 1980’s when you barely received free sneakers without issues. Athlete can now turn “professional” in track and field and get paid.

Regardless- Olympic athletes train in obscurity for years- i can attest to that. Cancelling the Olympics is just punishing them.
