The Olympics & Paralympic Games
30 Sep 2021
The delayed Olympics and Paralympics were produced and broadcast from Japan while the country was in a Covid-caused state of emergency and while a reported 80% of the population was in opposition to holding the Games there. All the events in or nearby Tokyo were held in spectator-free stadiums, while those elsewhere in Japan were in front of 50% capacity crowds. This panel speaks to the Olympics/Paralympics broadcasters to find out how they were able to get the Games on air in the face of such adversity.
