I’m surprised Force Majeure didn’t provide a way for the insurance company to not have to pay this out.

Wimbledon took out insurance against a pandemic after the SARS outbreak in 2002, so maybe the Olympics also paid to insure against pandemics specifically.

If you are insuring against the Olympics being covered you are insuring against a lot of things that are normally covered by Force Majeure (wars, revolutions, pandemics, terrorism etc).
