東京オリンピックが予定通りに開催された場合、カナダとオーストラリアが選手を日本に送らない方針を表明しました。
オーストラリア五輪組織委は「東京五輪の1年以上延期以外は不参加」とする通達を選手に送り、今年夏の東京オリンピックには参加しないように要請。また、カナダも「東京五輪が1年以上延期されなければ不参加」と発表し、オーストラリアと同じように予定通りの開催ならば出場を拒否する意向を示しています。
本格的に東京オリンピックをボイコットする動きが強まってきたと言え、新型コロナウイルスの騒動が完全終息しない限り、東京オリンピックの延期か中止は確定路線になってきたところです。
TORONTO (March 22, 2020) – The Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) and Canadian Paralympic Committee (CPC), backed by their Athletes’ Commissions, National Sports Organizations and the Government of Canada, have made the difficult decision to not send Canadian teams to the Olympic and Paralympic Games in the summer of 2020.
The COC and CPC urgently call on the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to postpone the Games for one year and we offer them our full support in helping navigate all the complexities that rescheduling the Games will bring. While we recognize the inherent complexities around a postponement, nothing is more important than the health and safety of our athletes and the world community.
Canada won’t have a team at the Tokyo Olympics unless the Games are postponed by a year – a bold move that would at least give Canadian athletes some sense of direction in the coming months.
The Canadian Olympic Committee and Canadian Paralympic Committee issued joint statements Sunday evening saying that they refuse to send their teams to Tokyo unless their respective Games are pushed back a year.
