How To Watch The Tokyo Olympic Games: Day 3 - Monday, July 26

The International Olympic Committee issued a statement on Sunday easing mask requirements for athletes on the medal podium. According to the statement, athletes are able to “have a physically distanced image on the podium without their masks on for 30 seconds, and a group photo with masks on the gold-medal step.”

Before the Tokyo Games began, the IOC had decreed that masks had to remain on throughout the entire medal ceremony. “It has been decided today … to allow athletes to have a physically distanced image on the podium without their masks on for 30 seconds, and a group photo with masks on the gold-medal step,” the IOC’s statement said.
