There will be domestic spectators at this summer’s Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

Numbers will be capped at 50 percent capacity, with a maximum of 10-thousand people in each venue.

A report by Japanese medical experts issued last week suggested the games should take place behind closed doors.

Hubbard competed in men’s events before coming out as transgender in 2013.

The IOC changed its rules to allow transgender athletes to take part in the Olympics in 2015.
