The Olympics will now be held from July 23 through August 8, 2021, but the unprecedented delay has created much uncertainty regarding the games.Last week, various Japanese media sources published stories indicating that the Olympics will be “downsized,” “simplified” or “very different.” Officials have not yet announced any specific modifications, but the reports indicated that athletes may face quarantines and coronavirus testing and seating could be reduced, if there are any fans at all.Naomi Osaka Supports 'Brave Decision' to Postpone Tokyo Olympics: 'Sport Will Eventually Unite Us Again'

Tokyo Olympics spokesman Masa Takaya appeared in an online news conference last Thursday following the published reports but did not confirm any of the leaked information about downsizing. He did, however, address concerns about reducing the amount of seating, as millions of tickets have already been sold.“We understand that countermeasures for COVID-19 next year, particularly during games time, is one of the biggest things to address in preparing for the games next year,” he added. “But once again these countermeasures will be discussed in more depth from this autumn onward.”
