北京で行われたIOC＝国際オリンピック委員会の総会のあと、東京オリンピック・パラリンピック組織委員会の橋本聖子会長はNHKの単独インタビューに応じ、2030年の冬の札幌大会の招致について「開催能力の高い札幌でもう1度オリンピックができるよう努力していきたい」と意欲を示しました。
Chairman Hashimoto of the Tokyo Organizing Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games made the final report of the Tokyo Games at the IOC General Assembly held on the 3rd.
After finishing the report, Chairman Hashimoto responded to NHK's independent interview about measures against the new coronavirus at the Beijing Games, saying, "Omicron strains are highly infectious, so we have to do more than the Tokyo Games. Strict measures are natural. I feel it, and if I don't put up with it for the athletes and the people involved, it won't lead to overall success. "
After clarifying that he had talked individually with several IOC members about the bid for the 2030 Winter Olympics and Paralympics in Sapporo, he received advice and support for "making a firm concept." I want to talk about things like that. "
Regarding the bid, Sapporo City will conduct an intention survey targeting citizens and residents by next month, and will finally decide whether or not to invite it. It is the most powerful thing to have. I would like to make an effort to hold the Olympic Games again in Sapporo, which has a high holding capacity. "
In addition, Chairman Hashimoto said to the Japanese athletes who will participate in the Beijing Olympics, which is about to open on the 4th, "I think it is the strongest in history, so I have the power to exceed the number of medals that I have ever had in the Winter Olympics. I want to see it in anticipation. "
