Among the test tournaments of the Tokyo Olympics, the water polo test tournament scheduled from April 10 said that strict epidemic prevention measures to prevent infection with the new coronavirus could not be adjusted and overseas officials could not come to Japan. It is expected that the event will be postponed.

The Olympic test tournament will be held at the production venue of each competition to identify operational challenges.



Of these, the water polo test tournament scheduled for April 10 in Tokyo is expected to be postponed because strict epidemic prevention measures to prevent infection cannot be adjusted and overseas officials cannot come to Japan. I found out by interviewing the people concerned.



Regarding the test tournament, the FINA, which sponsors the swimming diving and artistic swimming tournament, indicated to the Organizing Committee last week that it would like to cancel it. Countermeasures are the focus.



The Tokyo Olympics are less than four months old, and if multiple test tournaments cannot be held, there are concerns about the impact on the actual performance.
