Sorry, had the wrong HS.
Im and Kim need medals to get out of military service. They def don't want their career ruined like Sang Moon Bae.
Does a medal get them out of military service? How does a South Korean get exempted from military service?
Good thing South Korean women aren't required to serve in the military, otherwise the quality of the LPGA tour would take a serious dip.
An Olympic medal exempts any South Korean from compulsory military service. I think a major victory would also provide an exemption, but I might be wrong about this part. Either way, the Olympics will be the last chance for either to earn an exemption before their deferments run out.
I didn’t get to watch. How did the USWNT lose 3-0 to Sweden?

Can’t believe that the Olympics are supposed to start in 2 days and there is still a possibility that they may be cancelled.
Will any city/country ever want to host the Olympnics agaIn?
Preface this by saying that my knowledge of women's soccer is nil.
Is it possible that the USWNT just had a bad game, needed a wake up call and will now roll? For the gloom and doom talk after this loss, weren't the USWNT on a long winning streak before this loss?

I know countries are already committed for the next few Olympics, but after that I really think we’re going to see fewer places fight to host the games. It’s a huge, money losing proposition. As mentioned above, a logical way would be to rotate to several built venues to lower the long term costs.
"Showing interest" a good euphemism for proffering bribesYes, this is what both the IOC and FIFA should do with both the Olympics and WC. That said, I don't see it happening until cities and countries stop showing interest in hosting.
