The executive board will meet on Monday after a number of national Olympic committees said they would not send a team to Japan.

Here, the PA news agency takes a look at which countries are taking a stand.

Canada

Team Canada announced it would not be sending any athletes to Tokyo and called for the Games to be postponed until the summer of 2021.

United States of America

Team USA said it had surveyed its athletes with nearly 93 per cent of the 1,780 respondents preferring to see the Games postponed rather than outright cancelled, while 68 per cent said the Games could not be fairly competed if continued as scheduled.

Australia

The Australian Olympic Committee announced on Monday that it had told its athletes to prepare for a postponement of the Games, instead focusing on a 2021 competition.
