Haruyuki Takahashi, one of the 25 members of the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee (July 24-August 9), announced Tuesday that it would postpone the competition due to the epidemic of coronavirus that strikes the planet. Takahashi told the Walt Street Journal that the postponement of the tests was discussed in recent discussions with the other members of the organizing committee. “I don't think the Olympics can be canceled.

In the event of a postponement, the Olympic Games could take place in "one or two years".
