The pressure to call off the Olympics has increased after a petition signed by 350,000 people was submitted to organisers.
Host city Tokyo is under a state of emergency following a rising number of coronavirus cases across Japan with just 10 weeks to go until the Games are due to begin.
Kenji Utsunomiya, a 74-year-old lawyer, launched the Stop Tokyo Olympics campaign last week and his petition contains signatures from 133 countries.

A doctor’s union in Japan has urged the government to cancel the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Members of the union went to Japan’s Health Ministry on Thursday to present a written request addressed to Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga.
“It’s tough for the athletes, but someone has to say that the Games should be canceled. We made the request (to the government) as we think medical workers have to speak up,” Naoto Ueyama, the head of the national doctor’s union, said in a press conference on Thursday.
