I also don't know what conditions can make a country have the right to participate in the Olympics, but it seems that there are no certain conditions that apply so that a country can participate and maybe the Olympics is like the world cup which is intended for countries around the world and I remember first I've read an article that says that the fire bearer at this year's Tokyo Olympics is a Japanese citizen, namely Kane Tanaka who is the oldest person in the world, but now rumors are circulating that Kane Tanaka will not be the torchbearer of this year's Olympics and I don't know who will replaces Kane Tanaka as torch bearer.

Dont worry about pandemic. There were alredy IIHC 2021 and Euro football 2020. There spectatora on the stadions and it wasnt announced that number of covid cases increased during these events.
There are increases and outcomes are not assessed fully. The Euro ended a few days ago and you will have to wait about one month to see what will happen in European nations.The general vaccination progresses in the Europe are better than in many of Asian nations and other parts of the world. The Olympics will be the event for the whole world, so it will bring more risk of infections, spreads and mutations during and after the Olympics.

I’m worried more about athletes. Imagine you train for 4 years to qualify for olympics and show best results there, then you wait for one more year because olympics were postponed, and your country decides to skip olympics this time and you wait for 4 years more. 9 years of trainings to try to get a medal. 9 years is a lot. Some athletes wont qualify, because they will be to old for their sport. Awful it you dreamed to represent your country and due to covid you dream will never come true.

I don't discuss about sports here.
I am worrying about the pandemic and progresses of vaccination globally. I wish best for the world, every nation, includes sport athletics. I wish that there will be no more deadly and more productive spreading mutated viruses on the world.
The Olympics can be a potential source for mutation of the Sars-Cov-2 virus. Of course I do hope it won't happen because if it happens, it will get rid of vaccination progresses so far.

I'm just curious how this going to be like the previous years same with no pandemic? How this could be possible to come back to normal olympics without any hesitations despite of the continuous coronavirus threat to people. Gambling bets this time might not be too good, since limited participation and audience should observe health safety protocols.
The same thought came to my mind. It will be postponed. That's what I imagined with all the barrier for every country cleaning their own backyard in the meantime.
But, it looks like they are going to continue it despite the pandemic still being a threat to all the participants.
I understand it means peace but what if it will also be the reason for pointing fingers at the end of the day.
Do we even know what's happening in the locker room or behind the scenes? I doubt they can control all of that.
Well, there must be some kind of security measures/health protocols before every game starts. I am still trying to be optimistic about it.
Usually every time there is an Olympic tournament, countries will nominate their best athletes to qualify for the tournament.
For example:
Swimming: in your country there are 20-30 swimming athletes, they all have to pass the selection to qualify for the Olympics, each country must have their 2 best athletes to qualify for the Olympics, this also applies to other sports such as: archer, weightlifting etc.

I know that for Athletics events, each event has a qualifying standard. Each country is able to enter up to 3 athletes for each event, provided that they have met the qualifying criterion - for the men's 100m as an example, this is 10.05 seconds. If your country has 10 runners who have met the standard, you can enter your choice of 3 of them. If no-one from your country meets the standard, you are still permitted to enter one participant.
I assume other event categories use a similar process.

Quick question, how does a country qualify to play the Olympics?
If we are talking about countries rather than individual athletes, then your country can enter provided its National Olympic Committee is recognised by the IOC.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Olympic_Committee#List_of_NOCs_by_recognition_date

I'm not sure but I guess there are no qualifications for a country to participate in the olympic games. I mean If a country possessed an athletes to a specific sport, they should always qualify as long as the number of their teams and participants is appropriate to the rules. No more, no less.
The qualifications are only applicable for the players playing for a specific county. Prime example is the pureness of the player's nationality. There might be a slight controversy when a player has dual nationality.
I guess your country will be the one to choose representatives to play in the olympic games.
The hosting country will be the one to carry the torch and put it on the cauldron. So, it's gonna be Japan.
This is what I think about your question, but I could be wrong here.

I do not know how it is for most sports but the big ones like track events and team sports, you have qualification rounds for them all the four years throughout the wait for the next Olympics. OR like for running, which I sometimes follow, there is a qualification time you must meet at a recognized competition, if you do it, then you win a "ticket" to Olympics.
So this is like a "final" also except I think in individual sports you have a limit for participation as I explained.

yes, maybe this will be the topic of a long discussion about the 2021 Olympics, thursday: 8/7/2021, In my country, has dispatched approximately 28 athletes who are ready to bet with 17 officials consisting of 8 sports, I hope that those who have been sent to Japan this time will bring home the best achievements for the country.For that 16 countries this time are ready to compete professionally in the Olympics in Japan this time, to fight for the gold medal that has been prepared, I'm sure every country has prepared their best betting athletes in order to achieve the best performance in the 2021 Olympic tournament this time and can be proud of their country, success for all athletes who compete in Japan.
