The Tokyo Olympic torch relay is in disarray amid a fourth wave of coronavirus infections in Japan, as the COVID-19 resurgence has forced local organizers to cancel legs on public roads in various prefectures and downsize related events. Will the "light of hope" make it to Tokyo in July as planned?
On the night of April 21, Ehime Gov. Tokihiro Nakamura was in tears as he bowed in apology to torchbearers at a venue in the prefectural capital Matsuyama, which was supposed to be used to celebrate the arrival of the Olympic flame, following the cancellation of the relay on public roads. Instead, the participants only got to hold and raise the torches at the venue.
