‘Not losing our time’: IOC insists Olympic Games will go ahead in Tokyo – Sydney Morning Herald
IOC President Thomas Bach could not guarantee there would be spectators and denied that pushing ahead with the event was “irresponsible”.
We are not losing our time and energy on the speculations but we are fully concentrating on the opening ceremony on the 23rd of July this year, he said.
We are not speculating on whether the Games are taking place, we are working on how the Games will take place.
We are working on the basis of having all athletes there, in Tokyo, for all events, he said.
