Three-time Olympic champion gymnast Kohei Uchimura wants the postponed Tokyo Olympics to happen next year. “Unfortunately, 80% of the Japanese don’t believe that the Tokyo Olympics can take place as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Uchimura said after a one-day exhibition gymnastics meet last weekend. Organizers say they can hold the Games, vaccine or no vaccine. Incoming travel has been mostly halted, but it's sure to change for Olympic athletes and staff. Olympic finances say the Games must go on — particularly on television, which pays most of the bills.
