 The organisers of the Tokyo Olympics say 19 athletes could not participate in the games due to positive coronavirus tests and three people related to the tournaments had been hospitalised due to the infections but have since recovered. Tokyo 2020 president Seiki Hashimoto told the news conference on Sunday. Japan will doubt it's more than a year old Olympic flame on Sunday, closing out the Tokyo Games that were appended by the pandemic and transformed by the drama of politics. Hashimoto said that it's too early to assess if the games were successful since the Paralympians are yet to begin.
