Following the arrest of former directors of the organizing committee over the sponsorship contract for the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, the JOC = Japan Olympic Committee announced that if Sapporo City succeeds in bidding for the 2030 Winter Olympics and Paralympics, He indicated that he would consider measures to ensure the transparency of the Organizing Committee with the city of Sapporo.
The JOC held a board meeting in Tokyo on the 25th.
At the beginning of the board meeting, Chairman Yasuhiro Yamashita said that the bribery scandal surrounding the Tokyo Games had "severely damaged the overall image of the Olympic and Paralympic Games." ``It is essential to clarify the viewpoint that the same thing will not be repeated if the event is decided,'' he said.
Based on the opinions of the directors at the meeting on the 25th, the JOC will work with the city to formulate measures to ensure the transparency of the organizing committee if the city of Sapporo succeeds in hosting the 2030 Games. I have given you an idea to consider.
In the future, we will proceed with discussions on concrete measures that will not raise questions about the operation of the Organizing Committee from the public, and if we have anything we can communicate, we would like to communicate it as soon as possible.
