I believe IOC already said they're not going to do that.They should just move the cycle back another year and hold it next year, future Olympics scheduled would be pushed back two years.
I don't think it would be fair if Japan had to completely scrap the whole thing.
It's either this summer, or it's after LA's 2028 Olympics so it would be 2032 by the time it would go back to tokyo, and they'd need to do a bunch of infrastructure redevelopment AGAIN at that point.
So basically flushing billions down the toilet no matter which way it goes. Having it this summer would be the cheapest, but has a high potential of causing COVID issues. And they've already lost billions from the 1-year delay. Canceling entirely would be wasting even more billions but would significantly reduce the risk of a major COVID event.
Really a shit show.
