    International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach has arrived in Tokyo ahead of a state of emergency during the games. Bars and karaoke parlors serving alcohol will close to prevent virus spread. Tokyo residents likely will watch the games on TV.http://apne.ws/9dSnmdB

        Excuse me! @faye_derek and I have been waiting 5 years to see Tom Daley fiddling with his swim briefs before executing a dive with a degree of difficulty that leaves us with our mouths agape.

        The worst part is that the actual people who live here in Tokyo (ESPECIALLY the Japanese locals) DON’T WANT the Olympics. Ffs, we don’t even have enough vaccines yet! It’s insanity.

        Bach resign! He's ruined the spirit of the Olympics and turned it into a broadcast business, insisting OG go ahead. Suga was also too hesitant about mass vaccination. The Tokyo Games should have been moved to 2024 and Paris 2028. So disappointed for Japanese people and the world.

        You do realize that Japan has already spent more than $30 billion to host these games? They postpone it any longer and it will be the biggest joke of the century for the Japanese people.
