International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach has admitted that it is too early to know exactly what the postponed Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games will look like, due to the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee announced at the 136th session of the IOC – the first-ever session held by videoconference – that all the venues intended for the Games in 2020 have been secured for next year and confirmed the sports competition schedule, reports Xinhua news agency.
But Bach warned that the unprecedented health situation meant multiple scenarios were being considered in planning the format for Tokyo.
“As the report of the Organising Committee today and the Coordination Commission that they have given some indications in which directions they are working. But in this situation now you cannot address the details yet,” Bach told reporters after the virtual session on Friday.
