Tokyo’s Olympic mascots have been unveiled amid mounting public opposition to the Olympic Games taking place this summer.
Coronavirus infections are rising in many parts of Japan and the country only began its vaccination programme this week, meaning vast swathes of the nation will still be unvaccinated when the Olympics are slated to begin on 23 July.
A newspaper poll this week indicated that 70% of Japanese people don’t want the games to go ahead.

Move the games don't cancel, hold them in like Israel where most of the Population have been vaccinated and if Japan is so worried don't participate
It’s not even that bad over in Japan should try Uk and USA then we can talk of it being bad, I just think people love to be negative too much
It’s probably 70% want the games more realistic
I never listen to news very fabricated
Cancel the games
I want to say that the IOC is really stupid.
It's a bad way to promote the Tokyo Olympics. You'd better stop hosting the Olympics. Otherwise, Japan's future will disappear. I'm waiting for death. If North Korea declares its absence, it would be better for the Japanese players to declare their absence. The whole world wants to stop.
You'd better hold a demonstration to stop the Olympic Games. The whole world is hoping to stop the Olympics. The world will be very noisy. The Japanese government had better give up its life. I'm waiting for death.
OMG!!! 2021TOKYO OLYMPIC.NEVER Go!!!😱😱😱
Welp there won't be winter games next year
The Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games Will Go Ahead As Planned With Only Ninty-Seven Days Left Until The Opening Ceremony of Upcoming Summer Games So We Are All Saving The Tokyo Olympics Together And Bring The COVID-19 Surge To An End And Our Hope Will Light The Way To Victory By Getting All of The Japanese Citizens Vaccinated 🇯🇵🎌🗾🗼🏯❤️💕💞🤝💉
l am so thankful to Dr bassey on YouTube this great herbal doctor cured me from HIV with his effective herbal supplements,
Boycott Tokyo Olympics for Dumping Nuclear waste water into ocean!
first, Vaccin must be provided for Japan for olympic after USA. and spectators and players must be vaccinated for safety of the world. Based on this reason Japan gov. can ask for Vaccin on purpose to hold olympic game for the world.
The US deserves to host the games more since we called the covid bluff before anyone else did
Japan dump nuclear wastewater into the Pacific, and we should boycott the Tokyo Olympics.
What japan try to proof?
Don't dump radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean.
The Pacific Ocean is not a garbage dump for Japan.
The games MUST go on.There will be safety measures.No need to be afraid and we shall defeat the virus.
After Olympic, surfing athlete happily bring back their third hand/j
Stop Fukushima Radiation Olympics. Stop Japan to not contaminate Pacific Ocean by releasing radiation water to the seas.
Wow why am I not surprised there is masonic symbolism on the mascot on the left? Nothing got to do with sports
THE ONLY RIGHT THING TO DO IS CANCEL THESE GAMES..COVID 19 IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE IN JAPAN …
Fake poll, fake news.
this year july
is ioc corrupted? swayed by the countries that r willing to make financial contributions? enlighten me plz why it wont delay the event and go against the very spirit of olympics? Wonder how ioc's status will change in the global arena after the event in japan…
I Japanese support olympic because I hate lockdown.
Fake news, people want the olympics! Stop trying to scare people!
Worst Olympics… No tourist allowed
Japan was the real reason for covid
Not China
Let 15,400 athletes die I won't shed a tear. Japan deserves better then this. I hate athletes. It's not like ur getting paid just killing the rest of the world and I won't be watching ELSE JAPAN GAVE THE OLYMPICS 7 BILLIONS DOLLARS but Japanese ppl will suffer smh
If every official is safe then it should only be players event that they choose!! Game on or Games off!!
No one cares !
