This week, John Coates returns to "Ready Set Tokyo" and says the lingering threat of Covid-19 over next year's Tokyo 2021 remains a legitimate for concern for the IOC.  Coates discusses the efforts going into the Games to reduce costs, and why Tokyo 2021 could be a cost-efficient blueprint for Games going forward. Coates reflects on the achievements of the AOC on the 100th anniversary of its founding, and discusses the highlights and challenges, including the decision to push ahead with sending athletes to the 1980 Moscow Games. And, how financially secure is the AOC amidst the Coronavirus pandemic? Also, London gold medallist and Rio silver medallist, Mat Belcher discuss life in isolation and his growing frustrations at not being able to get out on the water.  The postponement of the Games has changed his preparations, and he explains how. Plus, "The Five" is back, and this week, Shane goes through his Top 5 Australian Summer Olympic moments of all time. Twitter: @ReadySetTokyo
