And I am sure there will be no safety issues for them. But...I will also say this: it is a disgrace that these Olympics are taking place, given the situation. Berlin 1936 comes to mind. I do not expect the individual athletes to boycott the competition, they are just following orders of their national federations. It is those federations and the governments of civilised countries that I blame.
