Last week, information was spread that the Japanese government has come to the conclusion that this summer's postponed Olympics in Tokyo must be canceled.
The information was, however, denied by Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, but there is still uncertainty about how it will end.
Written to Bach
Should Japan come to the conclusion that they cannot host the Games, there is another state that wants to take over the Games: Florida in the United States.
The US Treasury's CFO has written a letter to IOC President Thomas Bach, arguing that the games should be relocated if Japan refuses.
"Today I am writing to you to encourage you to consider moving the 2021 Olympics from Tokyo, Japan, to the United States, and more specifically to Florida," the letter quoted as saying by ABC.
Accustomed to large crowds of visitors
Patronis mentions in the letter several reasons why Florida would be a good Olympic host.
Among other things, how used they are to the fact that many people visit the state and that their finances have coped with the pandemic in a good way, and that they will vaccinate their population quickly.
He also mentions that the sport has continued to be kept open during the pandemic.
While most states have shut down their sporting events, the city of Jacksonville has hosted the UFC and the NBA had a "bubble" to hold matches in Orlando.
In addition, both the NFL and college teams could play American football games on Florida soil.
In addition, Disney Park and other international tourist attractions have been able to stay open and function safely in Florida for a while, "he writes, and continues:
"In fact, Disney is an excellent example of how to handle a complex organization during the covid-19 period."
