Just read that postponing the games would be a logistical nightmare with almost no window to slot the games in.

Summer of 2021 has both World Swimming Championships (July), World Athletics Championships (August) and Euro Football Championships (June-July).

Carl Lewis suggested to hold it in 2022 so that it will be a celebratory Olympic year with the Winter games due in Beijing that year as well. The football WC will be held in Dec 2022 instead of the normal June-July period so this idea by Lewis is a possibility. But can the Olympians wait 2 years?

Pushing to Autumn of this year goes smack into the typhoon season as last year's Rugby WC found out to its cost. So again this might not be feasible and anyway, Autumn might be too soon.

Headache.....

JS can do his NS first then

Ironically the one "sport" that can be easily held online with minimal difficulty, namely Chess, continued to hold it the usual way. I'm talking about the Russian Candidates tournament, very important because the winner gets to challenge Magnus Carlsen for the world title. Anyway, both Chinese players were badly affected by the COVID-19 situation in their home country and faced all sorts of obstacles to getting to Russia to play. Anyway, a Russian won.

Japan can' afford to take the risk to hold Olympics 2020, far greater than any athletes life in Sport history. Yes cost, expenditures and damages are part and parcel of any sporting event, Covid-19 will ultimately disappear completely than we think. what better choice if Japan proceed with the event, there'd be more complaints than compliments all over.[bigcry]

Don’t think even by 2021 overseas govts will want to risk sending top notch athletes there even if it tails off after  6 months Or so as athletes go thru endurance ( exception of  chess/bowling/shooting)  and prone to infections also in an overseas environment
