I would be very surprised if it doesn't go ahead in 2021.
I don't think it will be anything close to a normal Olympics but, barring some sort of disastrous mutation, I think the Olympics is pretty much guaranteed to go ahead.
I can't see postponing it another year as viable as it is starting to get too close to Paris and it also would see it competing with the football world cup for attention and advertising revenue. I can't see Tokyo being cancelled all together, as there is far too much money involved, and it would be disastrous for the athletes.
So that leaves them finding some way to make it go ahead next year. I'm sure there will be restrictions regarding quarantines, testing, vaccines etc, I don't expect to see full stadiums, and I expect some athletes will miss out after testing positive but I think it will go ahead.
