Japan hosts four-way gymnastics rehearsal for Tokyo Olympics

This is the first sporting event to be held in Japan since the 'Covid-19' epidemic, and the Olympic organizers there have said that Japan can host the Tokyo Olympics without any fear.

Tokyo Olympics organizers say news of a vaccine for the 'Covid-19' virus is a relief, but their life-saving plan for postponed sports remains unchanged, Olympic officials say that is not a precondition for holding.

"The Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee is always on the alert. The other thing is that we think positively. Our focus now is on research, social distance and cooperation between athletes and other stakeholders, ”Hidemasa Nakamura, Tokyo 2020 Sports Festival official, told the media.

Faizer, a U.S. pharmacist, has been working with more than 40,000 people to test a vaccine to suppress Covid-19, and the results have been a relief to the Tokyo Olympic Committee.

Despite the Covid-19 epidemic, Japan says it can host the Tokyo Olympics, the best example of which is the four - nation gymnastics tournament on Sunday (August 8), which drew about 30 athletes and 2,000 spectators. , Nakamura said it was the best proof that the Olympics and Paralympics could be played.

The four-a-side gymnastics competition was attended by foreign athletes from the United States, China, and Russia, who had to isolate themselves before arriving in Japan. Then, 72 hours before arriving in Japan, the Covid-19 test report had to be negative, and the Japanese sports authorities were able to successfully hold the tournament as a rehearsal for the Tokyo Olympics.

Thomas Buck, head of the International Olympic Committee, which is due to visit Japan next week, said it was an example of how sports can be organized safely, even within current health constraints.
