In 2017, the Taipei Universiade made Li Zhikai famous and won the first ever Universiade pommel horse gold medal for the Taiwan gymnastics team. In 2018, he won the pommel horse gold medal in the Asian Games.

Li Zhikai said that along the way, he can be said to have grown slowly and step by step. The Rio Olympics is Li Zhikai 1.0, the Taipei Universiade is 2.0, and the Tokyo Olympics is 3.0. In the future, it may change to 4.0. When will Li Zhikai 4.0 appear? He said with a smile, "Maybe it was the time to kill Max, haha."

Covid Outbreak! Diagnosed referees sneaked out of quarantine and protests endangering the Tokyo Olympics 


Japan’s number of confirmed covid cases has surged recently, and the number of infections nationwide exceeded 10,000 since 30 July 2021. Nobuhiko Okabe, Head of the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee’s COVID-19 Countermeasures Expert Meeting, said frankly that if the number of covid cases increases, the medical system is facing tightness, it is really necessary to consider terminating the Tokyo Olympics.

On 30 July, news broke that two confirmed Tokyo Olympics referees sneaked out of the epidemic prevention hotel during the quarantine period. This was the first time Tokyo  Olympics had at least a confirmed person going out in violation of regulations.

Epidemic surges, protests against the Tokyo Olympics continue, Japanese government faces multiple challenges


The Tokyo Olympics are currently being held. Recently, the number of covid patients in Japan has skyrocketed, and public protests have continued to rise. Coupled with the hot and humid weather in the past few days, which caused discomfort to the players, the Japanese government is facing multiple challenges.

The Tokyo Olympics, which was postponed for one year due to the epidemic, did not get rid of the impact of the epidemic after all. Except for the unprecedented event held in a no-spectator mode, the number of infections in Japan has extremely increased, and the number of infections exceeded 10,000 for the first time on 29 July. IOC emphasized in a press conference on 29 July that the spread of the epidemic has nothing to do with the holding of the Olympics.

In Tokyo, the hot weather has exceeded 34 degrees since the opening ceremony. Although the organizers of the conference have taken measures to provide air-conditioning to the venue and prepare ice packs as part of the heat, it is still difficult to stop the heat. Taking into account the impact on the health of the players, the start time of some outdoor games from the 29th has been adjusted to 3 pm.

Japanese people said, "The forcible opening of the Olympic Games is one of the reasons for the surge in the epidemic."


The Japanese people’s protests against the Olympics continue to increase. They believe that without the Olympics, the number of infections in Japan will not increase. They call for an immediate stop to the Olympics.

Japanese people said, "We are not only right about the increase in the infection caused by the Olympics. The Olympics should be stopped immediately and all budgets and resources should be used for epidemic prevention. This is what the government should do."

Japanese people said, "In any case, because of the gathering of people due to the Olympics, the risk of infection may increase."

On the streets of Japan, the protests of the people are in contrast with the people who happily watch the Olympic Games.

Every day constant public protests and the physical discomfort of the players in the hot and humid environment have brought considerable pressure to the Japanese government.

Covid tally of Tokyo on 31 July 2021


The Japanese media "NHK" reported that 4,058 new confirmed cases on 31 July, breaking the previous record, and it is the first time that Tokyo has exceeded 4000 cases. Since the 28th, the number of people infected in Tokyo has exceeded 3000 for four consecutive days. It is still expanding. 

Japan’s "TV Asahi" reported that there are currently 2,995 covid patients admitted to the hospitals in Tokyo, which is twice the number a month ago, and more than half of the covid patients-reserve beds in Tokyo’s hospitals have been occupied. 

Nobuhiko Okabe said in an interview that when ordinary people and Olympic athletes need to be hospitalized and there are not enough hospital beds, they should not blindly give priority to athletes. Instead, they should judge who should be hospitalized based on their illness severity. If the medical hospitalization system is close to collapse, it is necessary to consider terminating Tokyo Olympics.

On the other hand, Tokyo Olympics broke out a scandal on 30 July. Two male referees of the sailing event were diagnosed with covi on 26 July.

Flow of people around the contesting venues has increased significantly


Although the International Olympic Committee (IOC) only recently denied that the Tokyo epidemic is not directly related to the Olympics, data shows that the flow of people around the Olympic venues has increased significantly since last week. Many Olympic commemorative venues have "check-in crowds". The sneak-off incident of famous referees has caused the outside world to worry about whether the warming up of the epidemic is really related to the Tokyo Olympics. No one can say how the future events will change.

On 31 July 2021, 12,342 people across Japan were newly diagnosed with covid, exceeding 10,000 for 3 consecutive days, and a record high for 4 consecutive days. From the perspective of age group, about 71% of the population are under 30 years of age. The younger generation has significant infection, and the large number of vaccinated elders over 65 accounted for about 3%, indicating that the infection of the elderly has been suppressed.

The Daily News reported that the positive rate of virus screening climbed to 19.5% on 30 July, and community spread was seen as the main reason for the expansion of infection. For the first time, the number of newly diagnosed people in Tokyo exceeded 4,000, and a total of 4,058 people were infected.

The 10 prefectures including the 4 prefectures in the metropolitan area (Tokyo, Kanagawa, Saitama, and Chiba) set the highest record ever. 

Tokyo is holding the 2020 Olympics, and the trend of a sharp increase in the number of infected people focused on Tokyo has become more pronounced.

In Tokyo, the number of confirmed cases exceeded 3,000 on 28 July, increased to 3,865 on the 29th, more than 3,000 on the 30th, and more than 4,000 on the 31st, which is 3.5 times more than the 1,128 confirmed on Saturday. The Tokyo epidemic is expanding at an unprecedented rate. 

According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s benchmark statistics, there are 95 severely ill patients. This is the first time since the third wave of the epidemic in February this year that more than 90 people have passed about 5 and a half months. For the first time, more than 10,000 people were recuperating from their homes, reaching 10,392.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Research Institute of Medicine pointed out that the number of people stranded in the main busy streets of Tokyo (from 12 pm to 12 am) has reduced by about 16% from 18 to 24 July after the fourth declaration of emergency but the rate of covi infection expansion surpassed the effect of reducing the flow of people. 

The 10 prefectures newly diagnosed with a record high include Niigata, Gunma, Tochigi, Saitama, Tokyo, Chiba, Kanagawa, Shizuoka, Kyoto, and Okinawa. More than 7,000 people have been infected in the 4 capitals and counties of the metropolitan area alone. (Central News Agency)
