This is the First Country not going to Tokyo Olympic Games

The broad discussion for Tokyo Olympic Games 2020, has received a strong turn today. Canada announced last night the decision not to participate in the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games 2020.

The decision came after a conference call meeting of the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic Committees on Sunday. A long discussion took place until the final decision was taken. The position of the Canadian Olympic Committee was as follows:

"It is unfair and unethical to force athletes to train (or at least make choice to train) in the current COVID-19 Pandemic environment".  

Apart from their decision to withdraw, the Canadian Olympic Committee and the Canadian Paralympic Committee made an appeal to International Olympic and Paralympic Committees and the World Health Organization to postpone Tokyo Olympic Games for 2021.

Tokyo Olympic Games stand among the few sports activities still on schedule to be held this year. The Japanese Prime Minister has announced before his country intends to hold the Olympic Games as scheduled. 

We shall be waiting to see who will be the winner of the duel: Coronavirus Pandemic vs. Tokyo Olympic Games 2020. I hope the Olympic Games will be held as scheduled as a strong answer to the killing virus.
