Olympic Games in Tokyo are postponed
"Based on the information available to the IOC, the postponement was decided," Pound said in a telephone interview with USA Today. Further details are not yet known, but the Games will not start on July 24, 2020, that much is clear. The Canadian Pound expects the Games to be postponed by a year and the details will now be worked out within the next four weeks. The IOC has not yet confirmed this. It is the right of each individual IOC member to interpret the decision of the Executive Board, which was announced on Sunday. In this announcement on Sunday, IOC President Thomas Bach indicated for the first time that a postponement of the Games in Tokyo was possible.
Dick Pound is a weighty source in this regard. The Canadian is the former chairman of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and former vice president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).Source. usatoday.com
