Olympic postponement Why "about one year"? Organizing Committee raises hope for convergence of infection March 25 0:08
Regarding the reason why the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics was about one year, the Games Organizing Committee has expressed hope that the infection of the new coronavirus will converge.
The postponement of this year is unlikely to converge in the coming months, and the torch relay before the tournament may not be possible, so it was postponed.
The postponement of two years is too long, and issues such as dealing with athletes who have already been hired as representatives will occur.
If the postponement is about one year, the convergence of the infection cannot be clearly stated, but the progress of treatment methods can be expected, and the "reasonable period" is considered.
