The Tokyo Olympics. Risk v reward?

Today on the Briefing we discuss the chances of the Tokyo Olympic Games going ahead as planned in July.

The Olympic Games is the biggest event in the world – and Tokyo’s Games were postponed last year due to the Covid pandemic.

Today we’re joined by the Australian Olympic Committee CEO Matt Carroll to talk about the likelihood the Games will go ahead; and we speak to Australian rugby gold medallist Chloe Dalton about the impact the postponement has had on athletes.
