As the Olympics are delayed to next year, another thing to consider is the qualifications of players. In the Olympics, there are events with age restrictions, such as soccer, and there are also events that give the right to participate depending on the world ranking at a certain time.

Reporter Lee Jung-chan pointed out this part.

Of the 11,000 expected athletes of the Tokyo Olympics, the percentage of players who have already confirmed their right to participate has reached 57%.

The IOC said it would recognize their qualifications until next year, but did not mention sports with limited age, such as soccer and gymnastics.

In the case of soccer, players under the age of 23 are eligible to participate, but if the same criteria are applied next year, there will be limitations on 11 main members such as Lee Dong-jun, Doo-jae Won, and Song Beom-geun, who turn 24.

[Song Bum-geun / Jeonbuk Hyundai Goalkeeper: The 97-year-olds took the Olympic tickets. The motivations were very shocking.

The voice that the age limit should be maintained as the Tokyo 2020 name remains is convincing.

[Yoo Seung-min / IOC Player Commissioner: I will talk with FIFA. I am hoping that that will probably be reflected in the policy flexibly.]

In addition, in the case of events that distribute tickets according to world rankings such as fencing, golf, and badminton, it is also a matter of when to set the reference point.

In the case of sports climbing, where qualifiers were canceled and tickets were allocated based on different criteria, fairness issues are raised.

The players are making their body without commitment when they don't know when the preliminary round with the Corona 19 will be delayed.

[Kim Hyun-Woo / Wrestling National Team: I'm eating one by one, so when I get injured, treatment takes a long time and it's hard, but I'm trying to get my heart ready to prepare for it.]

Amid this, Jinchon Athletes Village notified the squad for leaving for three weeks today.
