JNT: We'll take you in, if you need a place to stay after Qatar Open.
CNT: So nice of you, we'll consider it.
(COVID-19 spreads in Japan, South Korea, Iran, Italy...)
LGL: Maybe we should go home.

卓球中国代表の日本受け入れ計画を自治体が断念
[2020年2月29日13時29分]

日本卓球協会は新型コロナウイルスの感染拡大で帰国できず、海外で調整を続けている中国選手団を日本国内に受け入れる計画をいったん断念する。29日、協会関係者が明かした。受け入れ予定だった自治体が、昨今の状況変化を考慮し、方針を転換したことが理由。

協会関係者によると中国代表チーム約50人は、1月中旬に中国を出国し、同28日から2月2日まで行われたドイツオープン(OP)に出場。その後、中国卓球協会から帰国しないよう通達があり、現在は次戦があるカタールで調整を続けている。

日本協会関係者は受け入れ理由について「自分たちの仲間。困った人たちが目の前にいたら助けたいと思うのが当たり前」と話していた。一方で当初から「日本でこれ以上の感染拡大が起きれば、受け入れが難しくなることもあるだろう」と話していた。
The Japan Table Tennis Association has abandoned plans to accept the Chinese team, which has been unable to return home due to the spread of the novel coronavirus and has been continuing to adjust overseas, to Japan. An official of the association revealed on the 29th. The reason was that the local government, which had been scheduled to accept it, changed its policy in consideration of recent changes in the situation.

According to officials from the association, about 50 Chinese national team members left China in mid-January and participated in the German Open (OP) held from 28th to February 2nd. Since then, a notice has been issued not to return by the China Table Tennis Association, and adjustments are currently being made in Qatar, where the next stop will be.

An official of the Japan Association said, "They are our friends. It is natural that people who are in need of helping if they are in front of them are inevitable." On the other hand, from the beginning, he said, "If Japan spreads further, it might be difficult to accept it."

卓球中国代表の受け入れ難航 新型コロナで自治体断念

2020/2/29 12:55

新型コロナウイルスの感染拡大により中国に帰国せず海外で調整を続ける卓球同国代表を、日本に受け入れる計画が難航していることが29日、分かった。政府がイベント自粛や全国の小中高校などに臨時休校を要請する中、当初受け入れ予定だった自治体が断念した。日本卓球協会関係者が明らかにした。

中国代表チーム約50人は1月にドイツでの大会に向けて出国後、中国協会から帰国しないよう促され、現在は3月上旬に国際大会が行われるカタールで調整している。チーム内に発熱などの症状は出ていないという。

受け入れ計画を進めていた日本協会は今後も中国チームと連携しながら支援策を探る。関係者は「われわれは(協力を)諦めてはいない」と話した。〔共同〕
The plan to accept China table tennis national team, who continues to adjust overseas without returning to China due to the spread of the novel coronavirus, has proven to be difficult on the 29th. While the government requested self-restraint of activities and temporary closure of elementary and junior high schools around the country, the local government, which was originally scheduled to accept it, was abandoned. Officials of the Japan Table Tennis Association revealed.

After leaving China for the tournament in Germany in January, about 50 Chinese national team members have been encouraged not to return by the Chinese Association, and are now adjusting in Qatar, where the World Tour will take place in early March. There are no symptoms such as fever in the team.

The Japanese Association, which had been promoting the acceptance plan, will continue to seek support measures in cooperation with the Chinese team. An official said, "We have not given up (cooperation)." 〔Kyodo News〕

A week or so ago, JTTA extended their hands to the CTTA, saying they could take the CNT in after the Qatar Open until Tokyo 2020. LGL didn't turn it down but also said staying in Japan is one option, with other places in consideration. German TTA and Austrian TTA have also extended their hands.

Now that Japan, South Korea, Iran, Italy and many others have an outbreak, the plan is down the drain. No place is safe now. No one knows what will come next.

  刘国梁说:“据了解,此前日本确实在国乒考虑的范围内,东京训练场馆的条件、之后日本公开赛以及东京奥运会的举行,都是日本集训的优势所在。不过日本仅仅是国乒奥运集训地计划中的其中一个选择,国乒还在考察和联络其他国家和地区的集训场地,也一直在关注各地疫情发展和控制情况。最终釜山世乒赛后国乒前往哪里集训,还要看集训地疫情的情况,确保队员们在最安全的环境下,平安备战东京奥运会。”

https://sports.sina.com.cn/others/pingpang/2020-02-21/doc-iimxyqvz4744275.shtml
  自新冠肺炎疫情出现以来,已经有包括德国乒协和奥地利乒协在内的多个组织表示,欢迎中国乒乓球队前去集训。目前,国乒正在卡塔尔多哈全力备战接下来的卡塔尔公开赛和釜山世乒赛。

As reported by the Japanese media, the folks at JOC intend to "force their way through", citing they've spent so much money now for it to be postponed or cancelled. The IOC says it's still too soon to call it off.

Personally, I want it to go ahead as planned. But given the situation now, I'm not so sure. If it doesn't get contained around much of the world by April or May at the latest, then expect the worst to happen. If postponed, the IOC says it will take place in the same time period in 2021. Honestly, I think cancellation will be more likely.

Either way, even if it doesn't get postponed or cancelled, the damage has been done. This year is screwed.

That doesn't sound like a bad option 2021 being postponed, gives everyone more time, but saying so the hassle to eg, flights and people might lose out on existing flights being non refundable, hopefully few months of monitoring can better decide what is best step to take

yes in in 2months time it will be clearer if this is a Spanish-flu-like pandemic or if it will do limited damage. I think it doesn't depend only on the virus but also in the way we react to it, like the numbers suggest (serious action in China == exponential growth stopped - no action elsewhere == rapid spreading)

Also China winning a battle against the virus doesn't mean winning the war.

It appears folks in Japan are starting to suspect their cases are being un(der)reported. You don't have it if you don't get tested, right?

South Korea has been forced to pull out of Qatar Open because of the 14-day quarantine imposed by the local government.

코로나19에 막힌 한국 탁구, 카타르오픈 출전 포기

한국 탁구대표팀이 카타르 오픈 출전을 포기했다.

김택수 감독이 이끄는 한국 탁구대표팀은 오는 3월 1일 새벽 카타르항공을 통해 카타르로 출국 예정이었다.

그러나 카타르 정부는 중국, 한국 등에서 온 외국인의 경우 14일간 격리한다는 조치를 취하고 있다. 이에 대표팀은 여러 경로를 통해 대회 참가를 타진했지만, 결국 카타르행이 어렵다고 판단해 불참을 결정했다.

김택수 감독은 “진천선수촌에서 짐을 싸들고 나와서 공항에 가다가 다시 돌아왔다. 대한탁구협회, 대사관 등이 노력했는데 쉽지 않았다”고 아쉬움을 드러냈다.

이어 “카타르 오픈에 못 나간다는 것은 생각도 못했다. 많이 당황스럽다. 사태가 지속돼 몇 개월 경기를 못하면 실전 감각이 많이 떨어질까봐 우려스럽다. 4번 시드 경쟁국들 중 우리만 대회를 못 나가 손해가 클 것 같아서 걱정스럽다”고 토로했다.

카타르 오픈은 도쿄올림픽을 앞두고 실전 감각을 쌓기 위한 중요한 무대이다. 이 대회 혼합복식 우승, 준우승 조는 올림픽 진출권을 획득할 수 있다.
Korea table tennis blocked by COVID-19, forced to abandon Qatar open
Nusis input 2020-02-29 18:36 edit 2020-02-29 18:37

The Korean table tennis team has abandoned the Qatar Open.

The Korean table tennis team, led by Kim Taek-soo, was scheduled to leave Qatar via Qatar Airways on March 1 at the start of the day.

However, the Qatar government has taken measures to quarantine foreigners from China and South Korea for 14 days. The team decided to participate in the competition through several channels, but eventually decided not to go to Qatar.

Kim Taek-soo said, “I packed my luggage at Jincheon athletes' village, went to the airport, and came back. The Korean Table Tennis Association and the Embassy tried, but it was not easy. ”

“I didn't think I couldn't go to Qatar Open. Very shocked here. I am worried that if the situation persists and I do not play for a few months, my sense of competition will diminish. It's worrying that we're the only 1 of the top 4 seeding competitors that can't participate, so it's a big loss.”

The Qatar Open is an important stage to build a sense of action ahead of the Tokyo Olympics. The winner and runner-up of mixed doubles can win the ticket for the Olympics.

'코로나19 직격탄' 탁구 김택수호도 카타르오픈 입국 '비상'[단독]
스포츠조선=전영지 기자

"맞습니다. 비상입니다. 카타르 정부가 입국을 막고 있다고 합니다."
28일 수화기 너머 들려오는 박창익 대한탁구협회 부회장의 목소리는 다급했다. 국제탁구연맹(ITTF) 카타르오픈 출전이 어려운 것이 맞느냐는 질문에 "맞다. 어려운 상황"이라고 답했다. 지난 26일 복싱 대표팀의 요르단 입국 거부 해프닝이 탁구대표팀에서 또 한번 재현될지 모른다는 우려가 흘러나오고 있다.
카타르 정부가 지난 25일부터 한국, 중국, 이란을 방문해 입국한 외국인의 경우 14일간 일괄적으로 격리시설로 이송하는 조치를 취하고 있는 상황, 당장 5일 시작되는 대회에 나서야 하는 남녀 탁구대표팀에 큰 악재가 닥쳤다. 플래티넘급 월드투어 대회로 높은 랭킹포인트가 주어지는 카타르 오픈은 도쿄올림픽을 앞둔 각국 대표팀에게 매우 중요한 대회다. 특히 이 대회 혼합복식 우승, 준우승조에는 올림픽 자동 진출권이 주어진다.
카타르탁구협회는 코로나19 바이러스가 창궐중인 한국 선수들의 입국에 미온적인 태도로 일관하고 있다. 국제탁구연맹(ITTF)은 최악의 경우 '노쇼(No show)'에 대한 페널티를 감면해주겠다는 입장이다. 대표팀에게는 페널티나 돈이 문제가 아니다. 특히 도쿄올림픽 결승 진출을 목표 삼고 있는 김택수 감독의 남자대표팀은 올림픽에서 유리한 상위 시드 배정을 위해 카타르오픈 출전이 반드시 필요한 상황이다.
김택수 감독은 "너무 당황스럽고 힘들다. 카타르오픈에 나서지 못할 경우 랭킹 손실이 엄청 크다. 작년에 받은 포인트가 다 깎여나가는 것과 같다"고 설명했다. "이번 대회에는 혼합복식 올림픽 티켓도 걸려있다. 우리 혼복 2개조(장우진-신유빈, 이상수-최효주) 중 한 조라도 결승에 올라가게 되면 올림픽에 자동진출한다"고 대회의 중요성을 거듭 강조했다. "카타르오픈이 불발될 경우 4월까지 국제경기도 없어 경기감각도 떨어진다. 아시아 대륙 티켓이 걸린 4월 태국 아시아선수권도 어떻게 될지 불투명하다"고 했다. "중국, 일본, 독일 등 경쟁국들이 모두 나가 포인트를 따는데 우리만 못따게 되면 당장 4번 시드도 위태롭다. 랭킹포인트가 부족해 5위 밖으로 떨어질 경우 8강에서 '세계 최강' 중국을 조기에 마주칠 가능성이 높아진다"며 우려를 표했다.
남녀탁구대표팀은 복싱대표팀의 요르단 입국 사례를 참조해 26일 충북 음성군 태성병원에 가서 선수, 스태프 전원이 '코로나19' 검사를 마쳤다. 김 감독은 "카타르에서 입국을 제한할 경우 입증할 자료로 코로나19 음성 영문 진단서를 다 받아놨다. 우리뿐 아니라 배드민턴, 유도, 펜싱 등 많은 종목들이 코로나 검사를 마쳤다"고 덧붙였다. 박창익 대한탁구협회 부회장은 "카타르오픈 출전을 위해서는 1일 출국해야 한다. 시간이 촉박하다. 카타르 정부는 한국 입국자 전원을 14일 격리하는 원칙을 고수중이다. 유승민 회장과 관계자들이 ITTF, 대한체육회, 문체부, 외교부 등 모든 채널을 가동해 해결을 모색중이다. 우리 선수들의 카타르오픈 출전을 위해 최선을 다하겠다"는 의지를 전했다.
올림픽의 꿈 하나로, 4년간 앞만 보고 달려온 국가대표 선수들이 '코로나19' 위기속에 흔들리고 있다. 개인이나 협회의 힘만으로는 턱없이 부족하다. 문체부, 외교부 등 정부 유관부서의 적극적인 협업과 해결 노력이 필요한 시점이다. 전영지 기자 [email protected]
'Corona 19 Direct Attack' Table Tennis Kim Taek-Shodo enters Qatar Open 'emergency'
Sports Chosun

"That's right. It's an emergency. The Qatar government is said to be blocking entry."
The voice of Park Chang-ik, the vice-chairman of the Korean Table Tennis Association, was heard over the phone on the 28th. When asked whether it was difficult to compete in the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) Qatar Open, he answered, "Yes, it is a difficult situation." There is concern that the boxing team's refusal to enter Jordan on May 26 may be repeated on the table tennis team.
Foreigners who have visited Korea, China, and Iran since the 25th have been taking measures to transfer them to quarantine facilities for 14 days. The bad news is that the table tennis team has to start the tournament on the 5th. Has come. The Qatar Open, with high ranking points for the Platinum World Tournament, is very important for national teams ahead of the Tokyo Olympics. In particular, the championship of the mixed doubles and runner-up will be given the right to compete in the Olympics.
The Qatar Table Tennis Association is consistently lukewarm about the entry of Korean athletes with the outbreak of the Corona 19 virus. The International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) is in a position to reduce the penalty for 'no show' in the worst case. Penalties and money are not a problem for the national team. In particular, Kim Taek-soo's men's team, which is aiming to advance to the Tokyo Olympics, is indispensable for the Qatar Open in order to place the top seed in the Olympics.
Kim said, "It's very embarrassing and difficult. If I can't open Qatar, the ranking loss is huge. It's like losing all the points I received last year." "The tournament also has tickets for mixed double Olympics. If any one of the two sets of our mixed suits (Jang Woo-jin, Shin Yu-bin, Lee Sang-soo, Choi Hyo-ju) goes to the finals, they will automatically enter the Olympics." "If the Qatar Open fails, there will be no international competition until April. There is no sense in the game. It is not clear what will happen to the April Asia Championships in Thailand, where the Asian continental tickets are held." "China, Japan, Germany and other competitors all go out to win points, but if we can't win, we'll be seeding 4 times. The likelihood is high. "
The men's and women's table tennis team went to Taeseong Hospital, Eumseong-gun, Chungbuk on the 26th, referring to the boxing team's entry into Jordan, and all the players and staff completed the 'Corona 19' test. Kim added, "I have received all the Corona 19 negative English certificates as proof to prove that if I am restricted from entering Qatar. Many of my sports, including badminton, judo and fencing, have completed corona tests." Park Chang-ik, the vice-chairman of the Korean Table Tennis Association, said, “You must leave the country in order to compete in Qatar Open. The time is short. We are trying to solve all the channels including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We will do our best to play Qatar open for our players. "
As one of the Olympic dreams, the national team players who have been running for four years are shaking in the 'Corona 19' crisis. The power of an individual or association alone is not enough. It is time for active collaboration and resolution efforts by relevant government departments such as the Ministry of Education and Foreign Affairs. Former reporter [email protected]

Wow, I wonder if the Singaporean, Japanese, Italian and Hong Kong athletes will be subjected to the same restrictions, or more rigorous tests upon touchdown. I mean, these are countries at the top of the chart.

That's not good news, as long as it benefits the XD team I suppose not a bad thing, if not right to play then probably good thing in rehab

This ITTF season looks like will turn out to be a potential disaster, I'm big soccer fan too and Champions league lookinh potentially in doubt too same as Euro 2020
