Olympic athletes describe what they'll miss most about not being able to have their family at the Games. ➡ There also won't be any fans at the Tokyo Olympics. The announcement Thursday followed the declaration of a new state of emergency, which takes effect Monday and goes after the end of the Games until Aug. 22. "We wanted a full stadium so community people could get involved in welcoming the athletes so we could have a full presentation of the power of sports," she added. "However, now faced with COVID-19 we have no other choice but to hold the Games in a limited way." Correction: Two athletes' names were misspelled. The correct spelling is "Leticia Bufoni" and "Will Claye." #tokyoolympics #tokyoolympics2021 #olympics #olympics2021
