A former Japanese Olympian says the country has been “cornered” into holding the Olympics this summer.
“We have been cornered into a situation where we cannot even stop now. We are damned if we do, and damned if we do not,” Kaori Yamaguchi, a member of the executive board for the Japanese Olympic Committee and bronze medalist during the 1988 Olympics, said in an editorial published by Kyodo news agency, the Associated Press reported.

A petition calling for the cancellation of the Olympics has garnered more than 350,000 signatures and has been submitted to Olympics officials.
The petition has more than 356,000 signatures after nine days and has been sent to the chiefs of the Olympic and Paralympic committees along with Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike, Reuters reported.
Kenji Utsunomiya, who ran for governor of Tokyo multiple times, started the petition because he believes the coronavirus is not under control enough in Japan for the country to host the games.
