The Olympics will take place without spectators in host city Tokyo, organisers said on Thursday, as a resurgent coronavirus forced Japan to declare a state of emergency in the capital that will run throughout the event.

Although widely expected, the move marked a sharp turnabout from just weeks ago, when organisers said they aimed to hold the global sporting showpiece with some spectators, and all but robs the July 23 to Aug. 8 games


quote:

Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said it was essential to prevent Tokyo, where the highly infectious Delta COVID-19 variant was spreading, from becoming the source of another wave of infections.

Hope they turn the on-court mics up, hearing those chicks grunting on the tennis courts will be fap material

They're numbers aren't bad when compared to the population of the country. Yet, in every story I've read this morning they just quote the new case number.

This was always going to end up being the case. The fear mongers were never going to let this go away without making the Olympics a spectacle.

The Branch Covidians want everyone to be as miserable as they are. This won't end.

I wasn’t going to watch much before this but now I’m not going to watch any of it. Sports without fans are so boring a lame.
