Depending on which principle party, the IOC or the Japanese government, calls it off or for a postponement affects whether funding that's already been in place gets refunded or not.
So right now it's a standoff between the IOC and Japan as to who blinks/announces first, which is why we'll probably only hear "the show must go on" statements up until they day one or the other does. I doubt that either entity at this point believe holding them is a good idea.
