Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture, which has become the host town of China at the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, has accepted a preliminary training camp for the Chinese gymnastics national team, saying that there is a problem in ensuring the safety of athletes while the infection of the new coronavirus continues. I have decided to give up.
Sabae City was planning to accept a pre-camp for the Chinese gymnastics team as a host town for the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics in China.
However, as the infection with the new coronavirus continues, Sabae City last month told the Chinese Gymnastics Association that it would be difficult to accept it, saying that "there are many issues in ensuring the safety of athletes and related parties," and then the Chinese side agreed. After being contacted, it was decided to give up accepting the training camp.
On the other hand, Sabae City has a policy of conducting exchange projects with China as a host town, and is considering supporting the Chinese gymnastics team through public viewing in the city.
Sabae City says, "I'm sorry to give up accepting the training camp, but I would like to continue the exchange business after the corona converges."
