Former Olympic boxer Adam Nolan has said the move to ban foreign spectators from this year s games in Tokyo will be a huge blow to athletes.
While a formal decision has yet to be announced, the Japanese government announced on Tuesday that the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics will go ahead this summer.
But foreign visitors and spectators will not be allowed to attend due to the ongoing risk posed by Covid-19 and the emergence of highly transmissible variants of the virus around the globe, the Kyodo news agency reported.
Mr Nolan, (33), who qualified for the 2012 London Olympics, said competing at the event was not only the thrill of a lifetime, but having the support of his family and friends and a massive contingent of Irish supporters was the icing on the cake.
