Organisers to take another look at fans after the current ‘quasi-state of emergency’ ends on July 11
A “no-spectator Games” remains an option for the Tokyo Olympics, which open officially in just four weeks, the president of the Tokyo Olympic organising committee said on Friday. The admission by Seiko Hashimoto comes only four days after she announced on Monday that up to 10,000 local fans would be allowed into venues — with numbers not to exceed 50% of venue capacity regardless of indoor or outdoor events. Organisers put off the decision on local fans for several months, and fans from abroad were banned months ago.
