Relate to the idea of how sport can bring people together in solidarity...but note the risk to the reputation of the host country if hosting the Games leads to a spike in infections....

Given the spiralling costs of postponing the Games - the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will spend up to US$650 million (S$903 million) while billions more will largely be borne by Japanese taxpayers -

"I want to host them as a symbol of the world coming together to overcome this tough situation and of strengthened bonds among humankind,"
