After postponing the Games last year because of the global coronavirus pandemic, Saturday marks six months until the rearranged Olympics are due to start on July 23. “The question is, is this a ‘must have’ or ‘nice to have.’ It’s nice to have spectators. But it’s not a must have,” Pound told Kyodo.
