The IOC is now considering whether to postpone the Summer Olympics in Tokyo

So don’t count on the solace of summer gymnastics and swimming competitions just yet, even if that’s what we deserve after our quarantine — the Olympics have, after all, been canceled three times before, most recently for … World War II in 1944 . The games routinely drive huge ad revenues for NBC, and Comcast CEO Brian Roberts said earlier in March that “there should be no losses should there not be an Olympics,” thanks to insurance. Except for, of course, our loss of iconic commentary from No.
Update, March 22: In a slight pivot from last week’s ideology, the IOC is now considering whether the Summer Olympics should be postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. In a statement obtained by THR, IOC president Thomas Bach said discussions with the necessary parties have already begun.
