President Mr. Bach said everybody would have to contribute with sacrifices and compromises in this situation.

Bach assured that every possible move would be taken in order to minimize the expense however the spirit of Games and sports-competition quality would not be compromised.

Bach refused to make any prediction on whether there would be further delay or cancellation in cases of not developing any vaccination prior to the next year’s event.

To jump to a conclusion following 1 year and two months would not be a wisdom, he said.

It is however not known how much expense would have to bear in total, but it is being considered that Japan could face several billion dollars of expenses.

As per the IOC’s decision, Tokyo Olympics will begin from July 23, 2021, and Paralympics will run from August 24.
