The 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo are scheduled to kick off in roughly ten weeks. If that sounds odd as you look at your calendar it’s because they were postponed last summer due to the pandemic. Now the organizers and the IOC are having flashbacks to that disruption yet again. The President of the International Olympic Committee was scheduled to arrive in Japan one week from today to greet the torch relay team and then tour the facilities in Tokyo, but that trip has now been canceled because the country’s state of emergency has been extended through the end of this month. And just like last year, the reason is the pandemic. (NY Post)
