In the interview, Mills speculated that the judgment of whether it could be held would be made within a month or two, pointing out that the Olympic Organizing Committee probably expected dramatic improvement and the early popularization of vaccines and thus strongly delayed the decision.
Regarding whether it will be postponed again to 2024, which has decided to host the Olympic Games in Paris, he believes that it is extremely difficult to adjust and holds a negative attitude.
