Says IOC President Thomas Bach...
Others feel it is "unlikely" the Games will go ahead...
Jan. 21, 2021 — IOC president Thomas Bach has full conviction in the Olympics taking place in Tokyo from July and insists there is no “plan B” leaving cancellation or going ahead as planned the only options. Speculation has mounted in recent weeks that the Games are under threat following the rise in coronavirus cases and the imposition of lockdowns and a state of emergency in Tokyo. The IOC responded to the latter by stating it had full confidence in the measures introduced by the Japanese authorities and that it was “fully concentrated and committed to the safe and successful delivery of the Olymp ...

Aussie Open’s COVID-19 Problems Not a Good Sign For Tokyo Games
SWIMMINGWORLDMAGAZINE.COM
Jan. 20, 2021 — The closer we get to the 2021 Olympic Opening Ceremonies, the more up in the air the Tokyo Games seem as the waves of the COVID-19 pandemic continue. Tokyo and other parts of Japan are under an emergency order because of a rise in cases with about 4,500 deaths attributed to COVID-19, leading to increased speculation about the possibility of the games being canceled altogether. The start of the vaccine has helped in some parts of the world, but the distribution and time it would take on the list to get to Olympic athletes is not clear and could be very different in different countries ...

Tokyo 2020 Olympics Can Be Postponed To End Of Year Under IOC Contract: Japan’s Games Minister
SWNEWSMEDIA.COM
March 3, 2020 — Japan’s Government has been told that the contract for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games specifies that the event must be held within 2020, allowing for a postponement from July until further towards the end of the year between October and December should the coronavirus emergency make that a safer option. Cancellation of the Games, as suggested as a more likely outcome than postponement by IOC member Dick Pound a week ago, would be very costly for Japan and all down the chain of commercial interest.

If too dangerous, organizers more likely to cancel Olympics than to postpone or move them | Swimmer's Daily
SWIMMERSDAILY.COM
Feb. 26, 2020 — A senior member of the International Olympic Committee said Tuesday that if it proves too dangerous to hold the Olympics in Tokyo this summer because of the coronavirus outbreak, organizers are more likely to cancel it altogether than to postpone or move it. Dick Pound, a former Canadian swimming champion who has been on the IOC since 1978, making him its longest-serving member, estimated there is a three-month window — perhaps a two-month one — to decide the fate of the Tokyo Olympics, meaning a decision could be put off until late May.
