The IOC defends the awarding of the Winter Olympics to Beijing with tooth and nail. Even warnings from IT experts about security holes in the My2022 registration system are shrugged off by the sports federation headed by the German Thomas Bach.

Das IOC verteidigt die Vergabe der Olympischen Winterspiele an Peking auf Gedeih und Verderb. Auch die Warnung von IT-Forschern vor Sicherheitslücken im Registrierungssystem My2022 perlt vom Sportverband unter der Leitung des Deutschen Thomas Bach ab. Der Olympische Sportbund empfiehlt seinen Athlet:innen deshalb, die Anwendung umgehend nach der Rückkehr aus China zu löschen.
