It likely comes down to how quickly the vaccine is administrated in Japan. At the very least, if they are going to allow foreign spectators they may force them to be vaccinated before entering the country. We'll know one way or another by the end of March/beginning of April.

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.

From one of the CBC’s leading Olympics journalists:

When does the first Paris 2024 qualifying event start? 

[intoronto 4,226]

So sad.

 

I feel for those who had to miss 2016 and were aiming for 2020. I also feel bad for the baseball and karate athletes who will not live their Olympic dream...

In 18 months probably with the ISSF championships...

If Japan cancels these games they will have plenty of backlash and don't stand a chance to host another Games for the next 50 years at least IMO. There will be a LOT of furious people over this.

50km Race Walk wouldn’t get a proper goodbye. Mixed Trap also will have never been an Olympic event.

 

I would still caution against taking this reporting as final at the moment.

Behind a paywall like every shitty english newspaper. Can someone give me some quotes from the article (that isn't the first paragraph)?
