Fate of Tokyo Olympics Still Unknown as Canada, Australia Refuse to Send Athletes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The International Olympic Committee said Sunday it is still weighing
options for this summer's Tokyo Olympics, including postponement. The
Japanese government also appears to be open to a postponement following
earlier rejections of the idea. Canada and Australia said they would not
send their athletes to Japan this summer and urged for a one-year
postponement.
