    In the article the source says they want President Biden to say Team USA should not go so then they can officially cancel it.

    Every country would have the same issue.

    The key thing will be how Japan reports it in the coming days- do they announce it or deny it or ignore the reports. Should have postponed to 2022 and then tried to get 2024 to move to 2026 and 2028 to 2030.

    I can see all other bids opting not to even bother.

    Maybe they will add them into 2024 as a conciliation prize. Unlikely - most people will accept it.

    Problem is athletes are young so in most countries people in their age group won't be done by August - some places (China for example) might allow jumping the queue but most won't. Japan would have to provide the vaccine itself to the athletes and officials to not make it a nationality lottery.

    Michael Phelps say he thinks the Games should be cancelled.

    CAS would likely overule the IOC trying to ban clean athletes.

    Most Tokyo residents want it postponed or cancelled.

    I think the news the Brazilian variant has spread to Japan increases the likelihood of cancellation.

    Delusion. The IOC will soon pull the plug when it becomes obvious it won't work.

    Could it end up being Tokyo 2024 - Matthew Pinsent has called for it. I think it will be cancelled by the end of February but then some sports will organise last minute extra top level events as smaller scale events with the testing and quarantine manageable. I think a few Governments will rule out the vaccinating athletes ahead of the queue rule before the IOC pull the plug.
