The prospect that the Tokyo Summer Olympics will be held as a spectator match if it will close on July 24 as scheduled will draw attention from Japanese experts.

The online media inside the game, which delivers news of the Olympics, quoted Japan's Kyodo News on the 14th (Korea time) and reported the possibility of the Olympics that Japanese experts expected without regard to the spread of coronavirus infection-19 (corona19).

Professor Harneda Munehiko of Waseda University's School of Sports Science, who teaches sports management, said to Kyodo News on the previous day, "We have invested 3 trillion yen (about 34 trillion won) in the Tokyo Olympics, so we should consider the unrelated game (by the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee) rather than cancel" It was expected.

Japanese media have repeatedly said that the Tokyo Olympics will not be able to avoid huge losses if canceled.

Professor Harada also predicted that if the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the Tokyo Organizing Committee exclude physically induced judo or wrestling from the Olympic Games to prevent the spread of Corona 19, the size of the Tokyo Olympics could be reduced.

Hideomi Nakahara, a visiting professor specializing in infectious diseases at the Yamano College of Arts and Sciences, observed that the situation in Corona 19 was difficult to calm down by the end of May.

Professor Nakahara said that even if the Corona 19 situation is resolved in Japan until the end of May, it is not enough. The Corona 19 incident, which entered the pandemic (global pandemic), is completely calm until the end of May or June worldwide. I emphasized that it should be.

If that doesn't work, it will be difficult for the Tokyo Olympics to be held normally, Professor Nakahara added.

IOC commissioner from Canada, Dick Pound, said in an exclusive interview with the Associated Press in late February before Corona 19 entered the pandemic, if Corona 19 was too dangerous to take the Tokyo Olympics, the Tokyo Organizing Committee and the IOC would postpone the Olympics or change the venue. The prospect is more likely to cancel the competition, turning Japan upside down.

He also argued that for safety reasons, it would be necessary to decide whether to proceed with or cancel the Tokyo Olympics by the end of May.

A word from Pound, the longest-running IOC member on the board, produced a big wave.

With Corona 19's fandemic, sports around the world were virtually 'all-stop', making it impossible to dismiss Pound's claim as the opinion of an IOC member.

Prof. Nakahara predicted that if Corona 19 allowed athletes from countries that had been popular to participate in the Olympics, those who did not participate in the Olympics would continue.

It is said that similar things can be replayed as star-class athletes did not attend the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympics because of fear of Zika virus infection causing mosquito-borne microcephaly.

Compared with the spread of the Zika virus in 2016, where there were already many treatments, the view that corona19 is rapidly becoming more serious in the world without vaccine is dominant. Seems to be.

The future of the Tokyo Olympics was hard to see ahead of, such as Japan's immediate evolution, when US President Donald Trump proposed to postpone the Olympics for one year rather than the unattended Olympics on the premise of a mission.

The Tokyo Olympic torch relay event, which began on the 12th in Greece, was ruined because it was canceled in one day due to Corona19.

The Greek Olympic Committee decided to cancel all of the scheduled deliveries in Greece after fearing the spread of Corona19 when hundreds of spectators flocked to the event, despite a recommendation to stay home on the 13th.

The Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee took over the torch from the Greece Olympic Committee on the 19th and moved to Japan on the 20th.
