The Tokyo Olympic Games will go ahead as planned, according to the opinion of International Olympic Committee member Dick Pound. He told CNN cancelling the Games, which was delayed from 2020, is ‘essentially off the table.’

However, Japan is in a fourth wave of infections and public calls to cancel has been growing steadily in the past few months.
