@EmilyCardenas @Meare7 Thank you. I thought it might be like "Isn't it good enough to hold the Tokyo Olympics in 2024?" but what do you think?

(For you,) Wouldn't it be nice if the Tokyo Olympics will be held in 2024?
This is what you mean, it's subjunctive in English xD

@3cm I have the impression that the 「いいじゃない」is sort of a complaint of the current situation (in this case, Olympics that have been postponed from 2020 to 2021) and expressing your personal opinion (in this case, that instead of being postponed to this year, for the ongoing COVID-19 situation, it should be better for Olympics to be held until 2024 in Tokyo - instead of 2021). For me, the phrase "Isn't it good enough" refers to a situation that has already been decided, which as far as I know, it's not the case of the 2024 Olympics in Tokyo.
