While IOC Chairman Thomas Bach said he would hold the Tokyo Olympics as scheduled, foreign media reports that the Japanese government decided to cancel it internally.
The Japanese government immediately denied it, but skepticism about the Olympics is growing.

Amid growing skepticism about hosting the July Tokyo Olympics, Chairman Bach started to evolve.
Chairman Bach reaffirmed his willingness to hold the Olympics, saying, “There is no reason for the Olympics not to start on July 23,” in a video interview with Kyodo News.
However, he suggested the possibility of a non-audience by saying, “It will be necessary to sacrifice to protect life.”
However, it is still unclear whether the Tokyo Olympics will be held normally, with the opening six months ahead.
43% of the tickets to the Olympic Games have yet to find a host, and the number of coronavirus confirmed cases in Japan is deteriorating to 5,000 a day.
Meanwhile, the British The Times delivered a remark by an anonymous Japanese ruling party official that “the Japanese government will internally consider canceling the Olympics and re-hosting it in 2032.”
The Japanese government immediately started evolving in foreign media reports immediately after Chairman Bach reconfirmed the event in July.
“I would like to deny that there is no such fact.”
Starting on the 22nd, the IOC will listen to opinions on the Tokyo Olympics through video conferences with representatives of the national Olympic committees.
Last year, the IOC confirmed and postponed opposition from sports organizations and countries while emphasizing the holding of the summit.
The IOC is expected to decide whether to hold the Tokyo Olympics at the General Assembly on March 10 in Athens, Greece.
