The 2021 Tokyo Olympics has created a lot of controversy in Japan and around the world. There are many who believe that the International Olympics Committee and the Japanese Olympic Committee (JOC) should have cancelled the games instead of proceeding with them.
The 2021 Tokyo Olympics will run from 23 July to 08 Aug even though Japan continues to struggle with the COVID-19 pandemic and fears over a Delta variant continue to rise. One of the reasons for the concern is because just 11 percent of the Japanese people are vaccinated.
The IOC and JOC believe that they have put in place enough precautions to proceed with a safe 2021 Olympics but as we get closer to the Olympics there are more cases of athletes and staff testing positive in the Olympic village.
International fans will have to be content watching the games on television and streaming them online as Japan has banned international fans from coming over to view the games.
