As the Japanese Olympic Minister first mentions the possibility of delaying the Tokyo Olympics, it is noteworthy that the IOC will actually delay the opening.

Reporter Kwon Jong-oh reports on when to act and what's the obstacle.

After the IOC Executive Committee, Mr. Bach said he will do everything possible to make the Tokyo Olympics a success.

However, contrary to the compulsory position, it did not say that the Tokyo Olympic Games will open on July 24 as scheduled, leaving a lingering afterglow.

He also stressed that he will follow the recommendations of the World Health Organization, suggesting that he may make a decision to postpone as Corona19 spreads.

The Olympic Games' preliminary qualifiers are also adding to the delay.

If the decision to postpone the issue of Corona 19 is not settled by May, the October event is likely to be held, but the obstacles are daunting.

Above all, it is inevitable to lose astronomical broadcasting rights in line with US and UK professional sports schedules such as Major League and Premier League.

In addition, all existing reservations, such as accommodation and tickets, must be changed, which adds enormous costs.

In this situation, some British media have caught the eye of the allegations, "Let's hold the Olympics in July."
