Do the Tokyo Olympics still matter?

After bidding scandals, human rights outrages, overburdened host cities, rampant cheating, a pandemic — and, sure, thrilling competitions — has the world had enough of the Olympics? The Summer Olympics are happening, amid a spiking pandemic and in mostly empty venues. The opening ceremony on Friday will bring curiosity and a question that might be aimed not just at the Tokyo Games, but at the entire Olympic movement. With the recently concluded EUROs that brought a lot of excitement to fans all around the world, it’s questionable whether the Olympics will meet the expectations and critics say it won’t mean much this year. #Sports #Olympics2020
