MOSCOW – The Japanese government has privately concluded that the Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo must be cancelled over the Covid-19 pandemic and wants to submit a bid to host the 2032 games, reported Sputnik news agency.
“No one wants to be the first to say so but the consensus is that it’s too difficult... Personally, I don’t think it’s going to happen,” a source in the Japanese ruling coalition told The Times, speaking about the cancellation of the games.
The International Olympic Committee said in late March that the 2020 Summer Olympics would be postponed for a year over the pandemic. Currently, the games are scheduled for July 23 to August 8. – Bernama, January 22, 2021
