As of the 10th, a photo of the Beijing Winter Olympics is hung on the main official Twitter of the Olympics. There is a phrase saying that’Bingdundun’, the mascot of the Beijing Winter Olympics who personified a panda, is skiing and that there is one year left until the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. On the 4th, the official Olympic Twitter account drew attention by revealing the torch of the Beijing Winter Olympics.
The Tokyo Olympics are scheduled to be held on July 23rd. However, attention is focused on the situation in which the Beijing Winter Olympics, which have a year left, are more prominent than the Tokyo Olympics that have come about five months. Some have even speculated, “Isn’t it reflected that the Tokyo Olympics have become difficult to hold?”
Currently, skepticism about hosting the Olympics is spreading in Japan. As a result of a survey conducted by the Yomiuri Shimbun on the 5th and 7th on the 8th, 61% of respondents indicated that they wished for a re-acting (33%) or cancellation (28%) of the Tokyo Olympics.

The spread of Corona 19 in Japan is still out of control. According to NHK broadcast statistics, the number of corona19 infected across Japan on the 9th is seldom decreasing to a total of 1570, including 412 in Tokyo. Currently, the Japanese government is issuing an emergency situation with the aim of restricting outings and reducing restaurant business hours to 10 metropolitan local governments including Tokyo. Compared to the 8th of last month, when the emergency took effect, the number of infected with Corona 19 has decreased to one-fifth.
Fuji News Network (FNN) said in an article on the 10th, “There was a voice demanding the early release of the emergency situation within the government, but the review is underway in the direction of maintaining the declaration in all regions to continue to improve the situation by continuing strong measures.” Reported.
The bad news about the Olympics continued to come out. On the 9th, Japanese media including Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported that “after the remarks of “deprecation of women” by Yoshiro Mori, the chairman of the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee, approximately 390 volunteers informed the organizing committee of their resignation.”
Chairman Mori, a former Japanese prime minister, said at the Japan Olympic Committee (JOC) council meeting on the 3rd that, regarding increasing the percentage of female directors, “women are talkative, so meetings take a long time.” ”He made a controversy by speaking.
With only five months left until the Tokyo Olympics are held, as bad news and public opinion deteriorate, the concerns of the Japanese government and the International Olympic Committee are deepening. However, a clear position has not yet emerged. IOC Commissioner Dick Pound said in an interview with the Nippon Gayizai newspaper on the 10th that “one of them will be held or not” about the re-acting of the Tokyo Olympics.

Even if the Tokyo Olympics are held as scheduled, a plan to play without spectators is emerging. Tokyo Metropolitan Medical Association Chairman Haruo Ozaki said in an interview with the Asahi Shimbun in January that “we need to consider whether it can be held without a spectator.”
If the competition is held without a spectator, Japan must give up the sales revenue of about 90 billion yen (about 95.3 billion won) of admission tickets. In addition, if there is no spectator, the number of foreign tourists visiting Japan will decrease, and the original Olympic tourism specialty will disappear.
After the success of hosting the Olympics in September 2013, the Japanese government has been motivated with the goal of “to inform the world of Japan’s revival through the tragedy of the Great East Japan Earthquake.” However, as the COVID-19 quarantine failure, the astronomical cost surpassing the 2012 London Olympics, which cost the most among the summer Olympics in history, and the cold gaze of the people overlap, they are gradually driven into a dark situation.
