Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Haruuki Takahashi, the director of the organizing committee of the Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo, does not rule out the possibility of Olympic Games them again, Nikkan Sports News reports.

In March of this year, the Japanese government and the International Olympic Committee made an unprecedented decision to postpone the holding of the Games, which were supposed to begin next month, until 2021. However, in connection with the Winter Olympics in Beijing and the World Cup in 2022, further postponement of the Tokyo Games will cause even greater problems due to the large number of world sports events.

“First of all, we strive to host games in the summer of 2021. Cancellation of games is absolutely necessary to avoid, as this will inflict a huge blow on the economy of Japan and the world,” said Takahashi.

But if in the spring it becomes clear that holding the Olympics in July-August is problematic, "we must once again work out the extension with the International Olympic Committee," he added.

Such a statement from the mouth of the official responsible for the Games was made for the first time.

Recently, Japanese politicians have again begun to actively discuss the topic of the Olympics. So, the Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and the Governor of Tokyo, Yuriko Koike, spoke in favor of holding it in a “simplified form” without undue scope. However, many experts have doubts that the conduct is generally feasible before the creation of the vaccine.

It is noted that the new transfer of games, if this option is considered, will face a number of problems. First of all, these are the Winter Olympics in Beijing scheduled for 2022 and the Youth Olympics in Senegal, as well as the Summer Olympics in Paris, which will be only two years away.
