The rearranged Tokyo Olympics are likely to be a pared-down version of recent editions of the four-yearly Games, Japanese Olympic Committee chairman Yasuhiro Yamashita said on Tuesday.
Japan and the International Olympic Committee postponed the Tokyo Games until 2021 in March because of the coronavirus pandemic.Since then, organisers have spoken of trying to simplify the event - which had been due to start in 10 days' time - to reduce costs and ensure athletes' safety. "But I don’t think the concept of these Games will pursue these things. The first priority is to be safe and secure.”
