To be or not to be Prospects of Tokyo Olympics hang in balance By Abhijit Sen Gupta|   Updated: 10th May 2021 6:31 pm IST Abhijit Sen Gupta The modern Olympic Games began in 1896 and have been held every four years since then. Only on two occasions were they interrupted. The first interruption happened during the First World War and the second time it was during the Second World War. Now the question on everyone’s lips is: Will it be cancelled again due to the COVID pandemic? The Games were to be held in Tokyo in 2020 and have been postponed to 2021 due to the last year’s pandemic. But the threat of the virus is as strong as ever and it is hovering menacingly over the mega event. Despite the confidence being shown by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and repeated assertions that the Games will be conducted, there are major doubts whether the show will finally be held or not. As per the official schedule, the Games will be inaugurated on July 23.
