Actual substantiated rumors?  Or more like the buzz we heard the week leading up to the Olympics where it was like "we're monitoring the situation closely" and some media outlets were like "they might cancel the Olympics"

Apparently the meeting of the Japanese Government involved discussing it - and Biden put out a statement which came across as if it was him urging them not to cancel it. 

Any country improving their medal total this time will be a big achievement with the return of Russia (RPC).  is expected to win up to 50 medals less - the swimming squad is nit expected to perform as well as before and the Athletics and cycling squad are majority not first time Paralympian’s which brings experience but also the effects of aging. 

 

 at the last Paralympics didn’t win a single gold despite wining 24 medals.The performance of  will be important in building a successful games in three years time.
