Tokyo Olympics & coronavirus: Lord Coe says too early to decide on cancellation

"We're trying to manage the situation with the information we have but there is not a great deal of information.

"The temperature in the room with the IOC is, nobody is saying we're going to the Games come what may."

The IOC says it held "constructive" talks with athlete representatives about the coronavirus crisis earlier this week.

President Thomas Bach admitted he was "confronted with many questions" over qualification and restrictions but insisted that "everybody realised that we still have more than four months to go" until Tokyo 2020.



In contrast to Coe, former Olympic champion rower Sir Matthew Pinsent said he did not see "much of a choice" but to postpone or cancel the Games.

"I just think there are bigger things to worry about at this stage on a global front," Britain's four-time Olympic gold medallist told BBC Radio 4.


Asked why he felt the IOC was insisting the Games would go ahead, Pinsent added: "I think they feel a responsibility to Tokyo.


Meanwhile British race walker Tom Bosworth has told BBC Sport that the Olympics should be put back until the autumn.

IOCだってまだ、きまっていない、というだけ。

選手など関係者は、延期か中止・・・・あたりまえ。
