How The Olympic Games Have A Better Video

The Tokyo Olympics were postponed eight months ago, and now are to open in eight months: July 23, Crunch time is coming. Tokyo organizers and International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach have spoken vaguely about how the games can take place in the midst of a pandemic.

This could leave an uneven playing field and could also force some slots in the Olympics to be awarded without a traditional qualifying event. A: The IOC, organizers, and local politicians seldom talk about the costs. But a government audit last year said it was twice that. No one in authority has offered an official number.

New cases in Thw on Thursday topped for the first time. A: Bach has repeatedly said this, and he has lauded organizers for their ability to quickly adapt during the pandemic.

Few countries could handle the postponement as well as Japan has.
