Tokyo Games could be greatest ever, says Coates

Our daily Olympics filler. Yawn. Flatline. Move on.

Unfortunately, next year is still likely to be too early for both large scale international travel and large gatherings of people. Either the Olypmics will have to be held in a reduced form, or delayed until 2022. However, the winter Olympics and commonwealth games are also scheduled for that year. Interest in the games is at an all time low. They are not likely to be the greatest ever - far from it.

The Sepp Blatter of the AOC. Time to move these entrenched dinosaurs on, and get unbiased objective leaderships
