With no plans to delay the games, former swimming champion and senior IOC member Dick Pound<\/strong> has warned that if the IOC, the International Olympic Committee, fears that the risk of hosting the games in Japan is too high, then “they will probably be cancelled”<\/strong>.

In 1940, Japan was to be the host nation, the year the Olympics were cancelled due to the country’s war with China and participation in World War II. In 2016, the Olympics were held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, despite an outbreak of the Zika virus.<\/p>\n
