Olympic rules ban singing and chanting during events, with masks required at almost all times.

"We want this to be an athletes' village that the athletes will remember, but at the same time they must follow very strict rules about masks," said Saburo Kawabuchi, mayor of the Tokyo 2020 athletes' village.

"Except when eating, training, competing and sleeping, they must wear masks constantly, which is a very trying circumstance for global athletes." (Reuters)
