In connection with the cancellation of some rugby World Cup games due to the impact of Typhoon No. 19, the Hashimoto Olympic and Paralympic ministers will secure the operation of the event, such as a large typhoon approaching during the Tokyo Games next year. The idea of considering the response when it cannot be done is shown.
The current Rugby World Cup was affected by typhoon No. 19, and the two games of the first league scheduled on the 12th were canceled.
Regarding this, the minister in charge of the Hashimoto Olympics and Paralympics said at the press conference after the Cabinet meeting that he knew that he had decided to cancel it at an early stage in consideration of the audience.
On top of that, regarding disaster response at the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics next year, “We are conducting simulations in the event of a large typhoon, such as conducting a test event from the summer. Sports are expected to coexist with nature. I would like to work closely with the Organizing Committee if it is not possible to operate the tournament safely, so that I can respond promptly. "
