When the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games were deferred until 2021 due to COVID-19, both organisers and fans hoped we would be well past the peak of the pandemic by the time July 2021 came round.

But with just two months to go, we know the global number of cases and deaths are higher than ever, and even those of us in Australia whose lives are almost back to normal are still thinking about the dangers and impact of the virus on a daily basis.

The Quicky speaks to two Olympic and Paralympic officials, as well as a current Olympian to find out whether the Games will finally go ahead, and if it's morally wrong to send our athletes into such an uncertain environment in the name of sport.
