Gymnastics Meet Shows How '21 Olympics Could Work

Japan on Sunday "held a one-day exhibition gymnastics meet in front of several thousand fans" with 30 athletes participating from Japan, Russia, China and the U.S. The event is the latest "intended to show that the postponed Tokyo Olympics can open" in '21. The non-Japanese athletes "entered after a 14-day quarantine at home" and were "largely kept penned up in their Tokyo hotel in strict isolation" (AP, 11/8). An opening message from IOC President Thomas Bach "highlighted the stakes for the meet" (REUTERS, 11/7).
