January 28 In an online interview with Xinhua News Agency on the 28th, President of the International Olympic Committee, Bach once again expressed his confidence in the Tokyo Olympic Games being held as scheduled, while stressing that ensuring safety is the first priority.
After the Tokyo Olympic Games was postponed to 2021, it was half a year away from the Beijing Winter Olympics.
In response, the International Olympic Committee proposed that from Tokyo to Beijing, seize opportunities and meet challenges through the method of “peak to peak”.
Bach said: “The global attention to the Tokyo Olympic Games is the first peak, and if you look at the topics currently discussed around the world, this peak is higher than ever.
With six months to go before the Tokyo Olympics (hosting), the world is talking about the Tokyo Olympics. We can use the attention and evaluation of the Olympic Games to make it a meaningful symbol in this difficult period.”
“We will not see the scene that often happened before, that is, after the closing ceremony of the Summer Olympics, people’s attention to the Olympic Games has been greatly reduced, and people need to attract people’s attention to the Winter Olympics again.
Now we can keep the attention high and bring it to Beijing. The efforts of the organizing committee and the enthusiasm of the Chinese people convinced me that the peak of the Winter Olympics would be at a very high point.
“The Tokyo Olympic Games will open on July 23, 2021. What we are talking about now is not whether to hold the Olympic Games, but how to hold them. Bach said that everything is in progress.
Relevant parties have been working on the issue of ensuring the safety of the Olympic Games for a year, and now adjust the plan every day according to the latest situation. “These give us confidence that the Olympic Games will open at 8 p.m. local time on July 23.”
“Ensuring the safety of the Olympic Games is the first priority, and we will take appropriate measures to ensure the safety of the Olympic Games.
Of course, everyone wants the stadium to be full and the Olympic spirit and enthusiasm to reach its peak, but first of all, it is necessary to ensure the safety of all participants. Bach said.
Speaking of how to welcome the opening of the Tokyo Olympic Games, Bach said: “Happy, very happy.
The whole world will share this happiness.
“The Olympic Games have always carried a meaning and is a symbol of world unity.
When we get out of this ‘tunnel’ at the Tokyo Olympics, it carries more meaning, not only representing unity, but also human indomitable.
It will lead people back to social life and make people understand each other better. Billions of people around the world will share this happiness. Bach said.
