Tokyo Olympics running with no live audiences?

Forget the spectators. Tokyo Olympics.

There are almost 12,000 athletes. Plus more than 12,000 coaches and staff, and assistants.

The 1984 Olympics were held in Los Angeles, I lived within a reasonable walk of UCLA. The dorms were loaded with athletes. Those are the same dorms that have been emptied to protect the thousands of college undergraduate students.

No. The Tokyo Summer Olympics (held in Tokyo) can not be held there with no spectators.

HOWEVER, a worldwide Summer Olympics could be held in 2021 with no spectators if each event was held in a different location around the world……

The Olympics are about sport, but also money. Tokyo has spent a lot building the facilities to host the Olympics. They expect lots of spectators to visit Tokyo and spend lots of money. Tokyo needs the Olympics with spectators to break even. Whoever is hosting the 2024 Olympics wants to be reassured that they won’t lose a lot of money preparing for the games.

YES

Several sporting leagues are either starting up again or looking to do so, almost all without audiences at the stadiums in question. As time goes by, that situation may change, but it’s how things are now.

Fast-forward more than a year (since the Olympics will be in July of 2021), and who can say what the situation will be in Japan by then? I’m sure the organizers and the IOC will do everything they can to ensure that there are screaming fans there since the athletes tend to prefer that anyway, but it’s not exactly their call to make.

I suspect the Tokyo Games will be a bit quieter than a few other recent ones, even if nothing else. There’ll almost inevitably be a decent number of people who would otherwise attend but are still concerned about this virus.

Minister of Japan has concluded that the Games of the XXXII Olympic Games in Tokyo
must be rescheduled beyond 2020 but not later than summer 2021, with 
view to safeguarding athletes’ healthall those involved in the Olympic Games, and the international community.
The leaders agreed that the Olympic Games in Tokyo could be beacon of hope for the world during these troubled times and that the Olympic flame could become the light at  the end of the tunnel in which the world finds itself. 
And as result, it was agreed that the Olympic flame would remain in Japan. 
and also agreed that the Games would retain the name Tokyo Olympics and
Paralympic Games.
