I'm very much missing the option "It is too early to decide yet".

you're right...I should have added that one too, but it was already complicated enough to set up this version of the poll that I didn't think too much to any other option that could make sense...

 

next time (if there will be a "next time") I promise to do better...

No worries, I've posted plenty of polls on the Dutch website I write for and half the times I post it and think "crap, I should have added this or that option as well"

I don't see "Postpone it to September/October 2020" option.

Probably because it isn’t a realistic one...

They should be held in the set dates as long as:  

  

- Japan has covid completely under control by that date. 

- Foreign spectators are banned. Only athletes and their supporting staff should be allowed in the country. With strict health controls before entering the village. 

- No athletes are affected by big obstacles that difficult their training (e.g. training facilities closed) by mid April. 

 

If any of these conditions isn't fulfilled, then I think they should be postponed for 2021. Naturally, the 3rd condition is the most unlikely as things are now.
