Contact: Speaker's Press Office, 202-226-7616 Washington, D.C. - Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued this statement after the Biden Administration announced that there will be no U.S. diplomatic presence at the 2022 Winter Olympics, which the Speaker called for in May: "As House Speaker, I applaud President Biden's strong leadership in announcing that there will be no official U.S. diplomatic presence...

Last December, the Biden administration announced a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games. The reason cited by White House press secretary Jen Psaki is "the PRC's ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity in Xinjiang and other human rights abuses." The boycott does not extend to Team USA, whose athletes are free to compete in Beijing with the support of the...

I would have had the NHL gone to the Olympics but now that's off the table, Olympic hockey will be dreadful. I might take a gander at curling though as we're still sending our best against the world's best.

Bad may be a tad overdramatic, but it won't be best on best is more what I'm saying, the best players are in the NHL, who won't be going due to China's draconian covid testing rules. This puts the playing countries in a bit of a bind for talent, the level of competition will resemble a tournament known as the Spengler Cup, which takes the best of the European leagues, Canada always presents a team at that tournament made up of ex NHL players who now play in the euro leagues and AHL talent (feeder system), so while these are pro hockey players, it's not best of the best, which is what the Olympics should be about.
Curling will be dull to most people who don't get it, but actually it's so competitive that nearly any Nation can win, China has actually thrown a lot of resources at curling, I expect them to be very competitive.
