: “There are no considerations of canceling the Games, nor will the postponements of these activities have an impact on the overall Games preparation."on February 25, Dick Pound, the longest-serving member of the IOC, doesn't rule out the possibility completely. He estimates that there’s a two- or three-month window to decide whether or not to cancel the Tokyo Olympics.
If the Games were called off in 2020, it wouldn't be the first time — though past cancellation were always due to war. World War I halted the 1916 Summer Olympics in Berlin; and the 1940 and 1944 Winter and Summer Olympics were canceled due to World War II.
