The Tokyo Olympics will probably no longer be held at the original deadline this summer, making the impression that they are now just waiting for the Olympic Committee official announcement. Who already today (Tuesday) at noon hinted that the Olympic Games will be postponed to next summer is Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who proposed to the Olympic Committee to postpone the Olympics this year.



According to agency reports, Abbe had a triple talk with Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koika and Olympic Committee Secretary Thomas Bach. Now there is only time to wait for the official announcement, which is expected to go on air in the coming hours.



It should be noted that pressure from the states to change the date of the games started yesterday when Canada and Australia announced that they did not intend to send their athletes to Tokyo, should the games go on schedule this summer. At the same time, the Japanese Prime Minister stated that "in the current situation, the world is not preparing for the Olympic Games in Tokyo in the coming months. The logic says there will be a rejection of the games."
