The Olympic Games are scheduled to be held in Tokyo from 23 July to 8 August this year.
The already affected Tokyo Olympic Games (Tokyo Olypmics 2020) has suffered its first setback due to coronavirus. North Korea has refused to participate in these games to be held in July this year. The country ruled by Kim Jong Un has decided not to participate in the Olympics citing the health and safety of its players. It was announced in the official website of the Korean country. The 32nd Olympic Games are to be held in Tokyo from 23 July to 8 August this year. These games were to be held last year, but due to the impact of Corona, they were postponed for a year.
North Korea has consistently claimed since last year that there has been no case of infection with coronavirus in their country. However, experts have cast doubt on this from the very beginning. North Korea has sealed the borders of its country since last year, so that the effect of the virus does not reach the country. Now even after one year, seeing the change in the situation, this country has decided to stay away from the Olympics.
Decision to save players from global health crisis
The sports ministry of the Korean country issued a statement citing the health of the players and said that they will not participate in the Olympic Games this time. The statement quoted the North Korea Olympic Committee as saying, “It has been decided not to participate in the 32nd Olympic Games to protect our players from the global health crisis caused by Kovid-19”.
Event without a foreign audience
The Olympic Games are scheduled to be held in Tokyo this year, but it is still clouded by crisis and apprehension. Statements have come from the leaders of Japan itself, who have expressed doubts over the event. However, the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee and the International Olympic Committee have banned the participation of foreign spectators to protect the Games from this deadly virus. Due to this only sports lovers of Japan will be able to enjoy the games this time.
