There were hints of this decision back on March 3, when the parties announced that a final decision regarding overseas spectators would be announced by the end of March. Even if overseas spectators had been allowed at this year’s Games, they would have found a drastically different environment than any prior Olympics. Refunds were promised; however, according to Toshiro Muto, CEO of the organizing committee, organizers were not responsible for refunding canceled flights or hotel reservations.
