Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games To Be Postponed To 2021 Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games To Be Postponed To 2021 The Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games are officially postponed. The IOC and Tokyo organizing committee release a joint statement. UPDATED: March 24, 2020 The President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Thomas Bach, and the Prime Minister of Japan, Abe Shinzo, held a conference call this morning to discuss the constantly changing environment with regard to COVID-19 and the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. They were joined by Mori Yoshiro, the President of the Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee; the Olympic Minister, Hashimoto Seiko; the Governor of Tokyo, Koike Yuriko; the Chair of the IOC Coordination Commission, John Coates; IOC Director General Christophe De Kepper; and the IOC Olympic Games Executive Director, Christophe Dubi. President Bach and Prime Minister Abe expressed their shared concern about the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, and what it is doing to people’s lives and the significant impact it is having on global athletes’ preparations for the Games. In a very friendly and constructive meeting, the two leaders praised the work of the Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee and noted the great progress being made in Japan to fight against COVID-19. The unprecedented and unpredictable spread of the outbreak has seen the situation in the rest of the world deteriorating. Yesterday, the Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said that the COVID-19 pandemic is "accelerating". There are more than 375,000 cases now recorded worldwide and in nearly every country, and their number is growing by the hour. In the present circumstances and based on the information provided by the WHO today, the IOC President and the Prime Minister of Japan have concluded that the Games of the XXXII Olympiad in Tokyo must be rescheduled to a date beyond 2020 but not later than summer 2021, to safeguard the health of the athletes, everybody involved in the Olympic Games and the international community. The leaders agreed that the Olympic Games in Tokyo could stand as a beacon of hope to the world during these troubled times and that the Olympic flame could become the light at the end of the tunnel in which the world finds itself at present. Therefore, it was agreed that the Olympic flame will stay in Japan. It was also agreed that the Games will keep the name Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020. The International Olympic Committee is a not-for-profit independent international organization made up of volunteers, which is committed to building a better world through sport. It redistributes more than 90 percent of its income to the wider sporting movement, which means that every day the equivalent of 3.4 million US dollars goes to help athletes and sports organizations at all levels around the world. UPDATED: March 23, 2020 Following the announcement of Canada refusing to send athletes to the 2020 Tokyo games, IOC member Dick Pound told USA TODAY Sports that the Olympics are likely to be moved to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The plans are to be announced over the next four weeks. “On the basis of the information the IOC has, postponement has been decided,” Pound told USA TODAY Sports. “The parameters going forward have not been determined, but the Games are not going to start on July 24, that much I know.” With the roll-out of cancellations we saw at the NCAA level, it will not come as a shock to see this news become official in the coming week or weeks. “It will come in stages,” he said. “We will postpone this and begin to deal with all the ramifications of moving this, which are immense.” Related Content - USA U18 National Team Set To Compete In WBSC Women's Softball World Cup - U18 Women's National Team Claims Junior Pan Am Championship Over Mexico - USA vs. Dirt Dogs - 2021 PGF National Championships 12U Premier - Japan Tops USA for Olympic Gold | Canada Earns Bronze - USA vs. World - 2021 Colorado 4th of July - Finals - USA Softball Announces Exhibition Games For U.S. Women's National Team - Why The Fire Still Burns For Arizona Head Softball Coach Mike Candrea - Laura Berg | Legends Of The Game (Ep. - USA Softball Announces 2022 Women's National Team World Games Roster

ओस्लो । आउदो जुलाई र अगस्टमा एसियाली मुलुक जापानमा विश्व खेलकुदको कुम्भमेला टोकियो ओलम्पिक–२०२० हुने तय छ । ओलम्पिक हुन चार महिना बाँकी छ । तर, विश्वभर नै महामारीको रूपमा फैलिरहेको कोरोना भाइरस (कोभिड–१९)का कारण टोकियो ओलम्पिक हुने नहुने अन्योलमा छ । अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय ओलम्पिक कमिटी (आईओसी) र जापान ओलम्पिक कमिटीले निर्धारित मितिमै ओलम्पिक गर्ने योजना बनाइरहेको छ । यसका लागि जापान ओलम्पिक कमिटीले ग्रीसको एथेन्सबाट बिहीबारै ओलम्पिक टर्च जापानमा ल्याइसकेको छ । तर, नर्वे ओलम्पिक कमिटी र अमेरिका ओलम्पिक कमिटीले कोरोना भाइरसको त्रास नहटेसम्म आगामी टोकियो ओलम्पिकको प्रक्रिया अघि नबढाउन आईओसीलाई आग्रह गरेको छ । नर्वे ओलम्पिक कमिटी र पारालम्पिक कमिटीले आईओसीका अध्यक्ष थोमस बाचलाई पत्र लेख्दै तत्कालको स्थितिमा आगामी समर ओलम्पिक प्रक्रिया अघि नबढाउन आग्रह गरेको हो । नर्वे ओलम्पिक कमिटीले यस अवस्थामा मानिसको स्वास्थ्य सुरक्षामा ध्यान दिनुपर्ने आईओसीलाई सुझाएको छ । ‘हाम्रा सुझाव भनेको यस्तो त्रासको स्थितिमा टोकियो ओलम्पिक अगाडि बढाइनु गलत हो । यो समय सबै मिलेर कोभिड–१९ लाई नियन्त्रण गर्ने माध्यम सिर्जना गर्न हो ।’ नर्वे ओलम्पिकको पत्रमा उल्लेख छ । नर्वेले आफ्ना खेल गतिविधि सबै ठप्प रहेको उल्लेख गर्दै यस्तो स्थितिमा ओलम्पिक तयारी गर्न नसकिने जनाएको छ । आईओसीका अध्यक्ष बाचले विभिन्न खेलका अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय संस्था र विश्व स्वास्थ्य संगठन (डब्लुएचओ)सँग वर्तमान अवस्था’bout छलफल भइरहेको बताउँदै टोकियो ओलम्पिक सार्नु परिपक्व निर्णय नहुने धारणा व्यक्त गरेका छन् । ‘यदि ओलम्पिकको सिद्धान्त मान्ने हो भने आगामी टोकियो ओलम्पिक निर्धारित जुलाईमै आयोजना गर्नु हुँदैन । यस ओलम्पिकलाई सन् २०२१ मा सार्नु कुनै गल्ती हुने छैन । तब मात्र सबै खेलाडीले समान रूपमा तयारी गर्न पाउँछन् ।’ पछिल्ला दिन खेल पदाधिकारी र खेलाडीले विभिन्न अभिव्यक्ति दिँदै टोकियो ओलम्पिक सार्न आईओसी, टोकियो ओलम्पिक आयोजक र जापान सरकारलाई दबाब दिइरहेका छन् । स्लोभानिया ओलम्पिक कमिटीका अध्यक्ष बोजडान गाभरोभेचले पनि आगामी ओलम्पिक पछि सार्नुपर्ने बताएका छन् । स्लोभानिया ओलम्पिक कमिटीका अध्यक्ष गाभरोभेचले अहिले स्थितिबाट ओलम्पिक आयोजना हुँदा सबै खेलाडीले समान रूपमा तयारी गर्न नपाउने दाबी गरेका छन् । कोरोनाबाट हालसम्म ११ हजार बढीले ज्यान गुमाइसकेका छन् । चीनबाट सुरु भएको संक्रमण विश्वभर पैmलिँदा रोकिने अवस्था नै देखिएको छैन । यस्तो स्थितिमा सबै राष्ट्रका खेलाडीले समान रूपमा टोकियो ओलम्पिकको तयारी गर्न नपाउने नर्वे ओलम्पिककी सोफिया ओल्सनको भनाइ छ । यूएस स्विमिङ फेडेरेसनले पनि टोकियो ओलम्पिक सार्न अनुरोध गरेको छ । उसले यूएस ओलम्पिक कमिटी र पारालम्पिक कमिटीलाई आगामी ओलम्पिक सार्नुपर्ने माग राख्दै पत्र पठाएको छ । फ्रान्स स्विमिङ फेडेरेसनले पनि यूएसको स्विमिङको भनाइ समर्थन गर्दै त्रासको स्थितिमा टोकियो ओलम्पिक सारिनुपर्ने भन्दै आईओसीमाथि दबाब दिएको छ । कोरोना संक्रमण र त्रासका कारण विश्वका अधिकांश खेल स्थगित हुँदा टोकियो ओलम्पिकका विभिन्न छनोट चरणमा रोकिएका छन् । आईओसीले यसै हप्ता सार्वजनिक गरेको रिपोर्टअनुसार ५७ प्रतिशत खेलाडी मात्र ओलम्पिकका लागि छनोट भएका छन् ।
