Due to the spread of the new coronavirus, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is scheduled to hold a conference call with an international sports organization that will be in charge of the Summer Olympic Games on the 17th. I knew that a meeting would be held. According to stakeholders, the aim is to share information before individual meetings with international sports organizations and the Olympic Committee in each country or region.

The spread of the new coronavirus has spread in Europe and the United States, and the effects of the Tokyo Olympic Games, which were scheduled to be held around the world, have been discontinued and postponed one after another.
