Less than 100 days are left until the start of the Tokyo Olympic Games.

According to the news that has been coming from Japan in the last several days, cancellation could still be an option if the coronavirus situation worsens. But, the organizers, the International Olympic Committee, and athletes are preparing for the start of the Games, scheduled for July 23.

The IOC and the Local Organizing Committee declare they are preparing to stage safe and secure Games. The latest news says that the Games will probably be held without spectators. The official decision that there will be no foreign spectators in the stands was already made. The decision regarding the Japanese fans is pending.

Bookmakers all around the world are also preparing for the 2020 Olympic Games. The first betting odds for the water polo tournaments in Tokyo have appeared.

The British online gambling company  Bet365 has posted odds for winners of the Olympic water polo tournaments. The company predicts that Hungary is the biggest favorite to win the gold at the men’s tournament. If Hungary, the European champion, takes the gold medal, someone who places a $ 1 bet will win $ 3.

According to the bookmakers, World champion Italy, Olympic champion Serbia and runner-up at the 2020 European Championship and 2019 World Championship Spain have the same chances (4.50). They are followed by Croatia (5.00), Montenegro (12.00), etc. South Africa and Kazakhstan are underdogs (odds 2001.00), Japan, Australia, and the USA are also far from the favorites in this list.

The team of the United States is a heavy favorite for the gold medal at the female tournament, with low odds (1.61).
