Description
Coronavirus restrictions mean fans are banned from almost all Olympic venues in Japan. Road cycling is an exception, but few turned up in person to watch the time trial events on Wednesday.
At the Fuji International Speedway venue, around 100 kilometres (60 miles) from Tokyo, the rules allowed for 10,000 spectators, less than half the venue's capacity of 22,000. But only 2,600 showed up. Some people have been showing up to events held on public roads in Tokyo, hoping for a chance to glimpse competition despite requests from authorities to stay away.
