Fukushima, intended to celebrate recovery from nuclear disaster, will have an 'unfortunate' lack of fans for Japan's Olympic baseball game
CNN
After a 13-year hiatus, baseball is returning to the Olympics -- although no fans will be there to witness it.
It's a particular disappointment for the city of Fukushima, where the Olympics was supposed to celebrate the region's recovery from a nuclear disaster more than a decade ago. Unlike Tokyo, Fukushima Prefecture is not currently under a coronavirus state of emergency, but a decision was still made to host the seven games at the Fukushima Azuma Baseball Stadium -- six softball and one baseball -- without supporters.More Related News
