Regarding the ski competition of the National Athletic Meet, which was scheduled in Akita Prefecture this month, the Japan Sports Association held an extraordinary National Athletic Meet Committee on the morning of the 1st, and was concerned about the medical system in the prefecture due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection. We decided to cancel the event because of the fact that there is.

The national polity ski competition is scheduled to be held in Kazuno City, Akita Prefecture for four days from the 18th of this month, and about 1800 people including athletes and directors were expected to participate.



However, new infected people are confirmed every day in Akita Prefecture, and the prefecture's own alert level is raised, there are concerns about the medical system in Akita Prefecture, and it is difficult to secure private rooms in the dormitory. Based on the above, the Akita Prefecture side indicated that it would be difficult to hold the event, and discussions were ongoing with the Japan Sports Association and the Japan Sports Agency, both of which host the national polity.
