Japan International Birdman Rally (JIBR) 2021 must has been taken place with no spectator on 31 July and 1 August as reported by some posts in SNSs. This no spectator condition had been come true by an announcement in the JIBR official website on 26 July by Yomiuri telecasting corporation, which is the organizer of JIBR. The announcement also informed that, for prevention of COVID-19, minimum staffs worked for the competitions. On the other hand, the announcement have not include its event date and participants have also kept silence about it. However, the organizer was not able to blot out completely the venue due to its huge size. Therefore, although the organizer had not announced the event dates, many passersby who may not know a secret of the event date were able to saw the event and some of them posted what they saw on SNSs. According to those posts, the glider category would have been taken place on the first day and the human-powered airplane category on the second day. Most of those posts are snapshots of the event and do not include information of results of the competition. We should wait broadcasting of TV program in order to know the results of JIBR 2021 as well as usual.
On 2 August, the official twitter account of JIBR announced that a TV show recording was conducted with much understanding and cooperation of participants and other stakeholders, especially neighborhood people living in Hikone city where is host city of JIBR. According to the post, TV program of the JIBR 2021 will be broadcasted on 2 September.
