( Tokyo, 7th September 2020 ) John Coates, chairman of the Tokyo Olympic Coordinating Committee, said on Monday (7th) that the East Olympics will be held on July 23 next year, regardless of whether there is COVID-19.
John Coates is the coordinator of the International Olympic Committee and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. He told AFP that the Eastern Olympics pledged to be "a race to overcome crown disease."
He said that the Olympics had never been cancelled except for world wars, and insisted that the Tokyo Olympic will be held on the revised date, July 23 next year. He referred to the catastrophic earthquake and tsunami that occurred in Northeast Japan in 2011, and said that "the original theme of the Olympic Games was the "reconstruction event" after the tsunami disaster." "Now these will be events to conquer the crown disease, the light at the end of the tunnel."
Japanese officials also said before that the authorities will not postpone East Austria again until after 2021. A recent survey of the Japanese people showed that only a quarter of the Japanese support the holding of the Tokyo Olympic next year, and most people believe that the Tokyo Olympic should be postponed or cancelled again.
