The Tokyo Olympics Organising Committee looks set to postpone a decision on domestic spectators until June.

The news comes as the Japanese government looks set to declare a state of emergency in Tokyo due to a fourth wave of COVID-19 infections.

Olympic organisers were set to stage a test athletics event with 20,000 spectators next month, to trial anti-COVID protocols, but that will now go ahead without crowds.

In March, Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics announced that overseas fans would be barred from the Games

The Olympics are due to kick-off on July 23.

While X still boasts 550 million monthly active users globally, Threads’ focus on user experience and avoidance of real-time and political content could position it as a formidable competitor moving forward.
