The announcement comes on the heels of the Tokyo Olympics' organizers banning spectators from the Summer Games.
And that’s not all. When NBC's Tom Llamas spoke about the new development on TODAY Thursday, he said to expect other changes around that coveted experience.
“We understand they’re going to be wearing masks,” he said of the new ceremony guidelines. “There’s no high-fiving, no hugging. So, it’s a sort of DIY medal ceremony.”News of the changes came Wednesday, the same day Tokyo reported more than 1,100 new cases of COVID-19, its highest since January. “Winning a medal is an incredible moment, and that is not going to be lost in the way they put on that medal," Llamas added.
