Volunteer "leaving" spreads puzzles without spectators at the Olympics

The competition began in earnest at the Tokyo Olympics, but due to the fact that there were almost no spectators, some volunteers were given new roles without any training or materials. Some people are confused.

It is undecided whether all applicants can participate

City volunteers will lose their planned activities due to non-audience, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government will have people living in Tokyo take alternative activities, such as calling for the prevention of crowding around the torch stand in the coastal area.

Several volunteers were seen around the torch stand on the 24th, but it is undecided whether all applicants can participate.

The Organizing Committee said, "I will contact you only if I have a job."

The volunteers of the tournament were also affected, and a female office worker in Osaka City made preparations such as attending English conversation, and was planning to take 20 days off during the period, but due to no spectators, the Organizing Committee said. After the announcement of the reduction of activities, there was no reply to the inquiry, and it was only on the morning of the 24th that he received an e-mail saying "I will contact you only if I have a job".

The woman said, "I don't know when I'll get a job, it's very hard to just wait. I think there are many people who are in trouble as well. I think it's been seven years since the bid was decided. It's a shame that it ends without passing through. "

No sudden change materials provided

Kentaro Sawada, who also volunteers for the tournament and lives in Machida, Tokyo, was planning to respond to the audience at the venue, but suddenly it changed to respond to the press in each country.

The Organizing Committee has not provided any prior training or materials, and since I do not know the specific content, I am trying to get materials from my fellow volunteers and prepare for them.

Mr. Sawada said, "I think that the management of volunteers and the management of the tournament are fluttering, and I think that complaints are coming out. I am not in a conflicting position, so I would like to get information firmly and cooperate with each other." Was there.
