Japan recently declared an emergency ahead of the Tokyo Olympics 2020. After a one year delay because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Olympics might suffer more with cases surging in the Land of the Rising Sun. Many fans have taken to social media, calling for the Tokyo Olympics to be cancelled.
Japan incurred major losses with the postponement of the Games and won’t want history to repeat itself. The country hosts the Olympics after more than half a decade, the last one being in 1964. The Equestrian Park was constructed in 1964 specifically for the Games, with Michael Plumb (US), Hans Gunter Winkler (Germany) and the D’Inzeo brothers won medals.
