North Korea has announced that it will not send its athletes to the Tokyo Olympics, and I know why.

This decision looks quite logical, after Japan announced that it would not let foreign fans into the country due to the coronavirus.

Thus, only the Japanese will be able to watch the sports competitions from the stands, there will be no foreign fans.

And the main Olympic team in the DPRK is not just a team of athletes, it is a team of fans, or rather, fans. After the last Winter Olympics, which took place in South Korea, there is no doubt about it. Let the set of Olympic medals not yet include an award for the best fans, but if there was one, then the DPRK would have a chance to win, "and since such a competition is not planned and the border is closed for fans, then there is nothing to do there." Apparently it was decided in the DPRK and decided.

The XXXII Summer Olympics were supposed to be held in Tokyo in 2020, but were postponed for a year due to the coronavirus. They are expected to run from 23 July to 8 August 2021.
