Tokyo Games still weigh limits on fans — if any fans at all

TOKYO (AP) — The Tokyo organizing committee has signaled that it will change its ticket policy this week for any local fans hoping to attend the Tokyo Olympics. Organizers and the International Olympic Committee are expected to meet this week to announce the move because of the fast-changing coronavirus situation. Fans from abroad were banned months ago. Two weeks ago organizers, the IOC, and others agreed to allow stadiums to be filled to 50% capacity with a ceiling of 10,000. Also, basketball player Rui Hachimura and wrestler Yui Susaki will be the flagbearers from Japan at the Tokyo Olympics that open in just under three weeks. This was announced by the Japanese Olympic Committee. Hachimura plays for the NBA’s Washington Wizards.
