Preview:
When the calendar flipped to 2021, there were already rumours within the host country that these Summer Games would be cancelled again, and reportedly 80% of Japanese don’t want them to be held this year. However, the International Olympic Committee denied such news, and the Tokyo Olympic organizing committee seems hell-bent on holding the games in 2021. The factor remains any surges in the coronavirus. Even though vaccines could be readily available to most of the world’s population by July, the new variants of the virus are a concern.
