Kyodo News Agency reported on April 3 that the International Aquatics Federation has informed it intends to cancel the final qualifiers for the Tokyo Olympic Games, synchronized swimming (AS) and open water swimming (OWS) to be held in Japan from April to May.
According to the report, if the international events of major sports are cancelled one after another, it may lead to a rise in the opinions of being disturbed about hosting the Olympic Games in the face of the coronavirus epidemic and crack down on the preparations for the Olympic Games.
Seiko Hashimoto, chairman of the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee, admitted to receiving FINA documents at the press conference, saying that “he has not received detailed instructions. It is hoped to start consultations” for coordination.
