Determined to proceed with preparations as planned: Tokyo 2020 chief

Tokyo, Jan 12 : Tokyo 2020 organising committee chief Yoshiro Mori promised that the Olympic and Paralympic Games will be held as scheduled this summer.
Mori made the remarks when addressing approximately 3,500 committee staff members in an online event. “We are determined to proceed with preparations as planned for the Olympic and Paralympic Games this summer,” the former Japanese Prime Minister said.
He said that even there are “any doubts” in his mind, it will affect everything, Japan’s state broadcaster reported according to Xinhua news.
“We will go through this dark tunnel together with you. Spring will eventually come. The morning will come after a long night. Believe that, do your best to give joy and hope to many people,” he said.
Tokyo 2020 CEO Muto Toshiro said that sports are powerful and can impress people. “It is our duty to think about how we can hold the games instead of wondering what is going to happen to them,” Muto said.
Mori later said on another occasion that the Olympics will never be postponed again, according to Kyodo news agency.
