Normally I would watch everything, not as keen as Oranj there though,.proper dedication.
I get the feeling the chances of the brits in the athletics are being very over egged..I see no golds, maybe a silver and a bronze or two.
However, tens thousands of people from around the world going to a country with 5% vaccinations. Sorry, I feel it shouldn't be happening and could be a heath disaster for Japan.

Who is over-egging? I can't see any golds either, but I don't think anyone is being talked up to earn one, are they?

I don't think anyone is going, unless you mean to cover it and compete, in which case you may just be right...

It’s going to be a weird year for sure. Some athletes who’d normally have little chance of a medal may find themselves in a much reduced field. And I feel very disappointed for any who test positive or have to isolate and will miss their event.
Did you see that a whole group of Scottish media have to isolate after a contact on the plane?

In the last Olympics I was on holiday in Italy. It was strange yet entertaining to watch Italian TV focus their highlights on their preferred activities - I saw much more water polo, handball and shooting than I've ever seen before.
