The athletes aren't the only people who are betting big ($15B+) to make the Olympics work. You think the 80% vote of foreign athletes should govern how the nation of Japan proceeds with its loss?

Make their profits work? Olympics could he held anywhere in existing locations for a negligible cost.

What loss? Presumably the athletes want to go, so increase TV broadcast rights by x% and there is no loss. When everyone is at home, there will be record numbers of viewers.
