(SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST) -- Tokyo’s postponed Olympics will go ahead next year regardless of the coronavirus pandemic, IOC vice-president John Coates said on Monday, saying they would be the “Games that conquered Covid.”
The Olympics have never been cancelled outside the world wars and Coates, speaking in a phone interview, was adamant that the Tokyo Games will start on their revised date.
“It will take place with or without Covid. The Games will start on July 23 next year,” said Coates, who heads the International Olympic Committee’s Coordination Commission for the Tokyo Games.
The post Tokyo Olympics will go ahead 'with or without COVID,' says IOC appeared first on WND.
