Read full article: Tokyo holds 1-day gym meet to show Olympics may be possibleAudience members cheer for Wataru Tanigawa of Japan as he competes in the rings during an international gymnastics meet in Tokyo on Sunday, Nov. 8, 2020. The non-Japanese entered after a 14-day quarantine at home and were largely kept penned up in their Tokyo hotel in strict isolation. The event is the latest — a Japanese baseball stadium was filled to capacity last week — intended to show that the postponed Tokyo Olympics can open in just under nine months. Fans entering the stadium, which was the venue for swimming in the '64 Olympics, had temperatures taken and hands sanitized.
