Are the Tokyo Olympic games in trouble?
The Inquiry
In just under a monthβs time Japanβs capital city Tokyo will host the 32nd Olympic Games.
They were due to take place last year but were delayed because of the pandemic.

So, Tanya Beckett asks if Japan can pull off the greatest show on earth during a pandemic?
