The Tokyo Olympics organisers decided this Saturday, March 20, not to receive spectators from abroad due to the pandemic.
This decision will have severe budgetary consequences.
The reimbursement of tickets sold outside Japan will be complex, and the shortfall for the initial budget is undeniable. In this context, television broadcasting rights will be all the more crucial.
Another decision remains to be made regarding the tonnage of Olympic venues for the public residing in Japan.
Even though the Japanese government launched a vaccination program for healthcare workers in February, most of the country's population is not expected to be vaccinated by the OG.
Inoculation of the vaccine for participants has not yet been declared mandatory, but the IOC strongly encourages it.
Japanese public opinion remains overwhelmingly hostile to the Games, preferring a further postponement or outright cancellation.
