When you participate in an international conference, there will be an "optional tour" or sightseeing tour during the conference.

Well, international conferences are usually held in famous tourist spots, so it's a kind of "reward" for the presenters who have been busy to death preparing their presentations before the conference.

I'm not sure if such "optional tours" exist in the Olympics or Paralympics, but normally the athletes could have enjoyed sightseeing in the host city.

Of course, this time, the Japanese government will not allow athletes and the press to freely walk around the country, but...

In my opinion, an "athlete" or "press" is essentially a challenger.

Maybe they'll show up in Asakusa, Ginza, Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Akihabara.

If they can end up with "zero" in spite of tens of thousands of visitors to Japan, I believe that will be the "great achievement of the OLYMPALA".

Maybe it will never be zero.

Every day, the escapades of "athletes" and "press" is going to make the pages of newspapers and weekly magazines.

(1) Is the "athlete" or the "press" to blame for breaking the rules?

(2) Are the governance controls of the Olympic host committee to blame?

will be problems.

I'm afraid that the Japanese government will force the offending team to leave the country -> will worsen relations with that country -> will break off diplomatic relations.

Well, my predictions have been off, so I'm not too worried.

I once predicted that the US presidential election process would plunge the country into civil war. And I had made a wild prediction that the United States would plunge into civil war during the presidential election process, and that the leading states would declare independence.

But, well, I guess some of the predictions came true when 'there was an attack on the US Capitol by sympathizers of the defeated president.
