There are “real problems” also for organising the Tokyo Games in 2021. AE has admitted Australian John Coates, a member of Cio: “There are athletes coming from 206 countries. In addition to the 11,000 athletes, there will be 5,000 officials and trainers, 20,000 media members, there are 4,000 currently working on hosting the Games, to which 60,000 volunteers will be added, he has declared, we can't put off the Olympics again and we have to think there won't be a vaccine or, if there are, there won't be enough time to distribute it all over the world”

His words actually follow those said by CIO head Thomas Bach, who has warned that the Tokyo Games will be cancelled in case they do not take place in 2021. “We can't forever commit 3,000 or 5,000 people to the Organising Committee. We cannot change the world's sports calendar for all major federations”.
