"We continue to work, and converse fruitfully with the national athletes and Olympic committees. Based on the indications of the WHO, we adjust for any adaptations of the organization and the influxes of the masses at times like this. But we have a unique opportunity, to do in so that Tokyo 2020 is the festival of mankind, the symbol of the resilience and the overcoming of the coronavirus.
