IOC still committed to Tokyo Olympics
The Tokyo Olympic Games will go ahead as planned, according to the opinion of International Olympic Committee member Dick Pound. He told CNN cancelling the Games, which was delayed from 2020, is ‘essentially off the table.’
Although he said nothing is guaranteed, the Olympic bubble looks to have all the right safeguards in place to ensure it goes without a hitch, and athletes and officials are tested and protected.
However, Japan is in a fourth wave of infections and public calls to cancel has been growing steadily in the past few months.
