疫情再严重也要办奥运,日本准备怎么做?

Sophie Mellor 2021-05-13
日本自信能够将比赛办好。

最终还是要举办吗?

对。尽管困难重重,2020年东京奥运会(Tokyo 2020 Olympics)在推迟一年后仍将如期举行。

2020年奥运会在哪里举办?

本届奥运会的主办城市为日本东京。尽管目前正在面临第四波新冠病毒感染,但日本自信能够将比赛办好。

幸运的是,即便日本官员真的改变主意,国际货币基金组织(IMF)也曾经表示取消或推迟奥运会对日本经济可能影响不大,只是日本小企业可能需要政府支持。

奥运会什么时候举行?

如果一切顺利,奥运会将从7月23日持续到8月8日,残奥会为8月24日到9月5日。

每个国家都参加吗?

到目前为止,朝鲜是唯一一个表示为避免本国运动员感染新冠病毒,不参加奥运会的国家。

日本公民的态度如何?

多数日本公民反对举办奥运会。共同社(Kyodo News)在4月的一项调查显示,72%的日本公民赞成取消奥运会。

外国人可以去现场看奥运会吗?

2020年东京奥运会和残奥会不允许海外观众参加。开幕式将闭门举行。奥运会能够通过美国全国广播公司(NBC)、NBC体育(NBC Sports)和奥林匹克频道(Olympic Channel)等在线直播。

日本在奥运会上花了多少钱?

去年12月一场在线新闻发布会上,主办方表示本届奥运会举办成本将达到154亿美元,推迟一年导致成本增加28亿美元。11月牛津大学(University of Oxford)的一项研究报告显示,今年奥运会已然成为历史上最昂贵的一次,而且费用不断膨胀。

2013年,日本刚开始划拨75亿美元用于主办事宜,随后增加到126亿美元,主要支付未说明原因的安全措施。日本国家审计委员会(Japan’s National Audit Board)预计费用将进一步增加,向日本国会准备的一份报告中指出,最新预算将比126亿美元多出97亿美元。

谁赞助奥运会?

根据东京奥委会的最新预算,本国商家33亿美元的赞助将是最大的收入来源,是历届奥运会广告收入的两倍。

但路透社(Reuters)在今年1月报道,多家赞助商希望奥运氛围充分传播开之后,再启动奥运广告活动。由于日本民众强烈反对奥运会,品牌为奥运会发声的动力不大。

目前还不清楚多少观众会收看奥运会,斥巨资做广告也可能让品牌提不起兴趣。

要进行多少核酸检测?

很多。所有参赛运动员飞往日本之前都要进行两次核酸检测。运动员和其他随行人员抵达后每天还要接受检测,以尽量降低病毒传播风险。

会保持社交距离吗?

会严格保持。参赛者必须尽量减少与日本居民和其他在日本逗留超过14天的参赛者接触,要保持一米距离。鉴于日本社会普遍遵守规则,很可能会严格执行。

运动员的住宿情况怎样?

有点压抑。以往奥运村充满节日气氛,但今年建在晴海的东京奥运村很可能不会太热闹。

国际奥委会(International Olympic Committee)禁止运动员在第一个项目五天之前进入奥运村,还要求最后一次比赛后两天内离开。正常情况下,奥运会整个期间运动员都可以住在奥运村,项目结束之后也能够留下,一直到参加完闭幕式。

运动员也无法在日本观光或外出就餐。所有参赛者必须全天严格遵守行程,乘坐奥运会专用车辆以尽量减少传播风险。参赛者不得乘坐公共交通工具。

食物方面,运动员可以在已经实施新冠防疫措施的地点用餐,包括奥运会场馆餐厅、酒店餐厅,也能够在自己的房间内使用客房服务或叫外卖。

好的一面是,美国游泳运动员瑞恩•洛赫特无法再谎报有人打劫了。

未接种疫苗的运动员能够参加吗?

国际奥委会表示,支持运动员接种疫苗但不是必要条件。国际奥委会主席托马斯•巴赫表示,不少奥运代表队已经接种疫苗,其他队伍所在国政府也已经承诺接种。

此外,国际奥委会也收到了主办2022年冬奥会和冬残奥会的中国奥委会提议,向运动员提供中国生产的疫苗。

不过具体细节仍然在商定中,但巴赫证实,国际奥委会已经做好准备为奥运会和残奥会参赛队伍支付费用,提供更多疫苗。

如果运动员测试呈阳性怎么办?

很可惜,如果参加奥运会的运动员核算检测呈阳性,就要立即自我隔离,禁止参加任何项目的比赛。

日本是否使用应用程序跟踪?

日本正开发新冠跟踪应用程序,耗资73亿日元(6900万美元),届时将与日本外务省的电子签证系统和厚生省的HER-SYS系统打通。应用程序中将集合外国游客的行程、健康状况和核算检测结果等信息。

然而,人们越来越担心价值数千万美元的应用程序能否赶在奥运会前顺利上线。

火炬传递开始了吗?

火炬传递仪式已经开始,但日本某些地区已经取消行程,也加剧了全国的紧张局势。日本冲绳岛地区就宣布,由于存在疫情传播风险,不参加火炬传递。

有没有很酷的新项目?

棒球和垒球缺席13年之后又回来了。新项目包括空手道、冲浪、滑板和攀岩运动等。

一些项目为男女混合队伍增加接力赛或其他比赛方式,包括田径、游泳、铁人三项、射箭和乒乓球等。(财富中文网)

Is it happening?

Yes. Against all odds, the Tokyo 2020 Olympics are set to go on after a yearlong delay.

Where are the 2020 Olympics?

The Olympics are being hosted by Japan in the city of Tokyo. Despite the country currently going through its fourth wave of coronavirus infections, Japan feels it has a lot riding on these games.

But luckily, even if Japanese officials do change their mind, the IMF has said canceling or postponing the Tokyo Olympic Games probably will not greatly hurt the nation’s economy, though its small companies may require government support.

When are the Olympics?

If all goes ahead, the Olympics will run from July 23 until Aug. 8, and the Paralympics will run from Aug. 24 to Sept. 5.

Is every country participating?

So far, North Korea is the only country that has said it will not be participating in the Olympics to shield their athletes from COVID-19.

What do Japanese citizens think?

A majority of Japanese citizens are against the Games. In a survey conducted by Kyodo News in April, 72% of Japanese citizens are in favor of canceling the Olympics.

Can foreigners travel to the Games?

No overseas fans will be permitted to attend the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The opening ceremony will be held behind closed doors. The Games can be streamed online via NBC, NBC Sports, and the Olympic Channel.

How much has Japan spent on the Olympics already?

In an online news conference in December, organizers said the Olympics will cost $15.4 billion to stage, with the yearlong delay contributing $2.8 billion to the growing costs. This year’s Olympics is already the most expensive of any Summer Games in history, according to a November study from the University of Oxford, with costs consistently ballooning.

In 2013, Japan initially earmarked $7.5 billion to pay for hosting. This was then increased to $12.6 billion to pay for unaccounted safety measures. And Japan’s National Audit Board expects the costs to grow even more, noting in a report prepared for the national legislature that the budget would exceed the $12.6 billion budget by $9.7 billion.

Who is sponsoring the Games?

According to the Tokyo committee’s latest budget, local sponsorship will be the city’s biggest earner, generating $3.3 billion in revenue—double any advertising earned by previous Games.

But Reuters reported in January a number of Olympic sponsors are waiting to launch their Olympic advertising campaigns until the general sentiment toward the Olympics is fully understood. With the Japanese people heavily against the Games, supporting the event doesn’t hold as much appeal for brands.

The hefty price tag to advertise when it is unclear how many viewers will tune in to the Games might also prove a turnoff.

How much COVID-19 testing will be done?

A lot. All participants are required to take two COVID-19 tests before their flight to Japan. Once they arrive, athletes and others in proximity to athletes will be tested daily to minimize the risk of virus transmission.

Will there be social distancing?

Strictly. All Games participants have to minimize contact with all Japanese residents and other Games participants who have already been in Japan for more than 14 days by up to one meter. Knowing Japan’s penchant for following rules, these regulations will likely be rigorously enforced.

What will athlete accommodations look like?

A bit depressing. While the Olympic Village is normally known for its festive atmosphere, this year’s village, already built on the Harumi Waterfront, is unlikely to live up to that reputation.

The International Olympic Committee is barring athletes from entering the village more than five days prior to their first event, and they are required to leave within two days of their final competition. Ordinarily, athletes can spend the entire duration of the Games at the village—beyond their final event and up to the closing ceremony.

Athletes can also rule out seeing the sights of Japan or eating out. All Games participants will have to follow a strict itinerary all day and will be chauffeured by Games vehicles to minimize the risk of transmission. Participants will not be allowed to use public transport.

For food, athletes will be allowed to eat in locations where COVID-19 countermeasures have been put in place, which only includes catering facilities at Games venues, their accommodation’s restaurant, and their rooms using room service or food delivery.

On the bright side, Ryan Lochte won’t be filing any false robbery reports.

Can non-vaccinated athletes participate?

The International Olympic Committee has said that while it supports the vaccination of athletes, one does not need to be vaccinated to participate in the Games. A significant number of Olympic teams have already been vaccinated, and others had received commitments from their governments, according to president of the IOC Thomas Bach.

That being said, the IOC has also received an offer from the Chinese Olympic Committee—host of the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Beijing 2022—to make Chinese-produced vaccines available to athletes.

Details are still being worked out, but Bach confirmed that the IOC is ready to pay for additional doses of vaccines for the Olympic and Paralympic teams.

What happens if an athlete tests positive?

Sadly, if any athlete participating in the Games tests positive, he or she will have to immediately self-isolate and will be barred from participating in any event.

Is Japan using an app for tracking?

A COVID-19 track and trace app is being developed for ¥7.3 billion ($69 million) and will be connected to the Japanese Foreign Ministry’s electronic visa system and Health Ministry’s HER-SYS system. The app will centralize information on foreign visitors’ movements, health conditions, and COVID-19 test results.

However, there are mounting concerns over whether the multimillion-dollar app will be ready in time for the Olympics.

Has the torch passing begun?

The torch passing ceremony has already begun, but certain regions of Japan have canceled their portion of the run—increasing tensions across the country. The Okinawa island region of Japan announced it would not run its leg of the race owing to the risk of COVID-19 transmission.

What cool new sports are there?

Baseball and softball are making a return after a 13-year absence. New sports include karate, surfing, skateboarding, and sport climbing.

Several sports are adding relays or other competitions for mixed gender teams, including track, swimming, triathlon, archery, and table tennis.
