Before the decision to postpone the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics for the first time in 24 days, Secretary-General Muto of the Games Organizing Committee recalled, "It was a year of trials."
After that, he said, "I think that the successful progress of the torch relay will deepen the understanding of corona countermeasures," and he hoped for the torch relay starting on the 25th.
The Tokyo tournament was postponed for the first time in history on March 24, last year, following the rapid expansion of the new Corona worldwide.
At a press conference on the 22nd, Secretary-General Muto of the Organizing Committee said, "It is not clear at that time what the postponement means or what we have to do, and we have no experience. So IOC didn't have any knowledge. Last year, it took me until the end to solve the corona measures and financial problems. It was a year of trials. "
He added, "I've finally come to this point. There are still various opinions among the people. I hope that the successful progress of the torch relay will deepen my understanding of corona countermeasures." I was looking forward to the success of the Olympic torch relay starting from.
