Australian Olympic team Chef de Mission Ian Chesterman is adamant the Tokyo Olympics will go ahead as planned from July.

Mr Chesterman told James Willis “the use of the word ‘normal’ is not going to go with these Games”, but if any country can pull it off, it’s Japan.

“Everyone knows they’re going to go to a different Games, we’re not trying to run the Games that people are used to.

“They’re still going to be a triumph of human spirit on the sporting field, and that’s what the Olympic Games are really about.”
