The Olympic Games Tokyo have officially been postponed and will now take place in 2021. The President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Thomas Bach and the Prime Minister of Japan Abe Shinzo made the announcement after weeks of uncertainty in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. 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. The two leaders praised the work of the Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee and noted the great progress being made in Japan to fight against COVID-19. In the present circumstances and based on the information provided by the World Health Organisation (WHO), the IOC President and the Prime Minister of Japan 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 British Olympic Association (BOA), British Paralympic Association (BPA) and UK Sport has welcomed the news. Chief Executive Andy Anson said: “It is with profound sadness that we accept the postponement, but in all consciousness it is the only decision we can support, in light of the devastating impact COVID-19 is having on our nation, our communities and our families. Alongside UK Sport and the BPA, we have consulted with the National Governing Bodies of summer Olympic and Paralympic sports and with athlete representative groups, including our Athletes’ Commissions and the British Athletes’ Commission. It is with their input and support that we have a unanimous view that the impact of COVID-19 on athletes’ training and preparation means their regimes are now compromised irreparably. It is time for them to stop thinking about Tokyo 2020 for now and be home and safe with their families. It would have been unthinkable for us to continue to prepare for an Olympic Games at a time the nation and the world no less is enduring great hardship. A postponement is the right decision. We have incredible sympathy for the Tokyo 2020 organising committee and indeed our colleagues at the IOC, who are working tirelessly to seek a positive outcome to this difficult scenario. The Olympic Games is a symbol of hope for us all and we are sure that we will be in Tokyo at the right and appropriate time as the world re-emerges from this dark period.”

सोमबार, १० चैत, २०७६ एजेन्सी । अन्तराष्ट्रिय ओलम्पिक कमिटी (आईओसी)ले जापनामा हुने टोकियो ओलम्पिकबारे अन्तिम निर्णय लिन चार साताको समय बाँकी रहेको बताइएको छ । विश्वभर कोरोनाभाइरसको त्रासले ओलम्पिक सार्न चौतर्फी दबाब बढेपछि आइओसीले चार सातापछि अन्तिम निर्णय लिने जनाएको हो । आइओसीको हिजो बसेको कार्यकारी बोर्डको बैठकले टोकियो ओलम्पिकलाई सोझै रद्द गर्नुभन्दा केही महिना वा एक वर्षको लागि पर सार्ने सम्भावनाबारे प्रारम्भिक छलफल गरेको हो । यद्यपी ओलम्पिक रद्द गर्ने विषयमा बैठकमा कुनै एजेण्डा पेश नभएको आईओसीको दाबी छ । अबको चार सातापछि परिस्थिति मूल्यांकन गरेर टोकियो ओलम्पिकबारे अन्तिम निर्णय हुनेछ । पछिल्लो समय ओलम्पिक सार्न विभिन्न देशका खेल संघ, खेलाडी र स्वयं ओलम्पिक कमिटिकै सदस्यहरुले दबाब दिइरहेका छन् ।
