Ever imagine what it would be like if they held an Olympics and almost nobody came?
Well, with Japanese-born tennis superstar Naomi Osaka holding the flame and lighting the cauldron, today’s opening ceremony of the coronavirus hobbled Games of the Xxxii Olympiad live from the island nation provided an answer to that query — and it was ultimately neither engaging nor enjoyable.

In the latest pandemic news to complicate the 2021 summer Olympic Games, the first case of Covid-19 has been reported in Tokyo’s Olympic Village.
The news comes one day after International Olympics Committee president Thomas Bach said there was “zero risk” of athletes infecting anyone outside the sealed-off village housing the athletes. The games are slated to begin on July 26.
“I understand that there are still many worrying factors,” Tokyo Olympic president Seiko Hashimoto said in a news conference on Saturday confirming the diagnosis. “Organizers must try to make sure that people will understand that these games are safe and secure…we are sparing no efforts.”
At the news conference, Hashimoto did not identify the individual or their nationality, but he did confirm that the person was not an athlete but someone involved in organizing the games. Most of the 11,000 Olympic athletes competing in the July 23-Aug.8 games plan to stay in the village.

Japan’s Olympic Games will proceed without spectators due to a surge in new Covid cases, Olympics Minister Tamayo Marukawa announced today. A state of emergency had already been declared in Tokyo and is expected to continue throughout the Games.
Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga told reporters that the state of emergency will run at least until Aug. 22 (the Games run July 23 through Aug. 8). “Taking into consideration the effect of coronavirus variants and not to let the infections spread again to the rest of the nation, we need to strengthen our countermeasures,” the prime minister said.
According to the BBC, Japan’s most recent wave of infections began in April, and the country has experienced a total death toll of around 14,900.

The U.S. State Department on Monday issued a “do not travel” warning to Japan amid a rise in Covid-19 cases, raising questions about the ability of the country to host the Olympics this summer.
The Summer Games, already postponed from last year, are a central part of Comcast-owned NBCUniversal’s strategy for the summer and the coming season, as the media giant just last week pitched an elaborate schedule of coverage across network platforms as part of the advertising upfront presentation. Following the State Department advisory, a spokesperson for NBC Sports said that plans had not changed.
The U.S. Olympic Committee has not yet commented on how the advisory will affect plans for athletes to attend the Games, scheduled to begin on July 23, less than two months from now. A spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Tokyo, May 18 (Ians) A Tokyo doctors' body has recommended cancelling this year's Olympics saying that hospitals in Japan are already overwhelmed due to spike in Covid-19 cases in the country.
The Games, which were postponed last year due to the pandemic, are scheduled to be held from July 23 to August 8.
"We strongly request that the authorities convince the Ioc (International Olympic Committee) that holding the Olympics is difficult and obtain its decision to cancel the Games," said the Tokyo Medical Practitioners Association in an open letter to Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga.
The association posted the letter on its website on Monday and is dated May 14.
"The medical institutions dealing with Covid-19 have their hands full and have almost no spare capacity," the medical association said in its letter.
The government has extended its state of emergency in Tokyo and several other prefectures until May 31 due to a severe shortage of beds and hospital staff.

Tokyo, Dec 5 (Ians) Despite the postponement of the Tokyo Olympic Games costing the Japanese economy an additional 294 billion yen, Japan's prime minister Yoshihide Suga has reiterated that the government will spare no effort to make the Games a success.
The Tokyo Olympic Games, which were scheduled to be held in 2020, had to be postponed to 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The games are now set to open on July 23, 2021.
"I expressed my strong determination to host the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games in the summer of next year as proof that humanity has defeated the pandemic," Suga said during a video speech at the United Nations General Assembly.
The last official budget given by the organising committee in December 2019, months before the Games were postponed, was $16.9 billion.
But now Tokyo 2020 will also have to fall back on a contingency fund, which was mentioned in last year's budget to cover the costs.
