The IOC and the local organizers are involved in campaigning for several months to revoke the interest among the Japanese public, and assure sponsors who have invested billions of dollars with the hope that the Olympics can take place during a pandemic. As things are not open to the media, everyone still wonders how more than 15,000 Olympic and Paralympics athletes can safely enter Japan, along with thousands of staff, technical officials, sponsors, media and broadcasters. And the presence of the audience inside the venues is not clear yet. Earlier a financial budget cut of 2% has been announced however there is not cut in sports or the athletes. The postponement already raises $2billion to $3billion added costs.
