NSTsports No word on cancellation of Games
That was the response from OCM president Datuk Seri Mohamad Norza Zakaria yesterday on news that the Greatest Show on Earth might be called off due to the Covid-19 outbreak.
As far as Norza is concerned, the OCM will stick to the IOC’s calendar given out before the Covid-19 epidemic. Dick Pound, a senior member of the IOC, said on Tuesday in an interview with the Associated Press that the organizers are more likely to cancel the Tokyo Olympics than postpone or shift it to another country if the Covid-19 is of grave danger in the Japanese capital.
“In and around that time, I'd say folks are going to have to ask: 'Is this under sufficient control that we can be confident about going to Tokyo or not?’” he told AP.
