“If we´re in Tokyo, things all may be ready for Beijing. On the other hand, they may not be,” he added. In a statement, Beijing 2022 said the IOC is ploughing on with both Games as planned, despite the coronavirus still claiming lives in much of the world. “As far as we know, the position of the IOC is very clear and remains unchanged,” Beijing organisers said. “They are fully concentrated and committed to the successful delivery” of both the Tokyo and Beijing Games, they added. China, where the coronavirus emerged late last year before spreading worldwide, has largely brought the contagion under control despite periodic localised new clusters. However, Chinese authorities have ruled out hosting most international sports events this year –– with the exception of 2022 trials –– as part of measures to prevent a resurgence.
“At present, Beijing 2022 is implementing strict prevention and control measures against COVID-19, while pressing ahead with the Games preparations in an orderly manner,” organisers added. “All competition venues are expected to finish construction as scheduled by the end of this year. “It is our firm belief that we will remain committed to safeguarding the health and safety of the athletes, every participant involved in the Olympic Games and the international community.”
