Is it happening belatedly next year, or what? Anyone know?

Still due to be held this year, starting 23 July.

Lots of noises off about whether it will actually happen especially from the Japanese population.

I suspect that not even the Olympic Committees know the answer to that question with any kind of accuracy at the moment!.

I get why some officials get sacked because of things they said while in the job but for a bad joke 23 years ago, or something they did at school?
