China News Service, July 18, according to Kyodo News reported that on the 17th local time, the Japanese International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Bach said about the simplified Olympic Games in Tokyo, "reducing the audience is also one of the plans that should be discussed." On the other hand, he was cautious about reducing the size of the opening and closing ceremonies.

Affected by the new crown epidemic, on the evening of March 30 local time, the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee announced that the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics will open on July 23 and August 24, 2021, respectively. The picture shows the restart of the Olympic countdown card on the streets of Tokyo.

  According to reports, Bach said that "a variety of plans are being prepared" for the hosting of a safe Olympics, and stated that "it is not expected to be held in the form of no audience."

  He pointed out that the reduction in the number of spectators will be affected by the new crown countermeasures such as immigration restrictions and isolation measures in 2021, emphasizing: "I hope to see the stadium filled by fanatic fans. (It is too early to make a judgment)."

  Bach said: "The opening ceremony is an opportunity to showcase the culture and hospitality of the host country (national)... I believe that we can find the right balance that reflects the spirit of the Olympics and responds to the post-new crown era."

  In response to Japan's pessimism about hosting the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, Bach used the example of Yuriko Koike's re-election of Tokyo governor election as an example. Bach pointed out: "She wrote the promotion of the Olympics as a campaign promise, and other candidates who called for the suspension and renewal ended up with very few votes. Koike's overwhelming victory is a clear message that shows the Japanese people's ideas."
