Cancellation of torch relay in Greece 21:39 on March 13 as scheduled for transfer to Tokyo

The Greek Olympic Committee has been concerned about the spread of the new coronavirus since the torch relay started on the 12th, as many spectators gathered at the ceremony venue in Sparta, and since then relayed in Japan. We announced that we cancel.

The torch will be transferred to Tokyo, the host city, scheduled to be held in the capital city of Athens on the 19th.
