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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monzanator 3,594 Posted January 22, 2021 #1628 Share Posted January 22, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would still caution against taking this reporting as final at the moment. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
