Cancellation of the Olympics would be ‘unacceptable’

Japan does not expect to receive a cancellation notice from the International Olympic Committee (IOC), said Olympics Minister Seiko Hashimoto on Thursday according to a Reuters report.

The Olympics minister said a “cancellation or delay of the Games would be unacceptable for the athletes”.

Earlier this week, she had said that Tokyo’s contract with the IOC called for the Games to be held within 2020. She said this “could be interpreted as allowing a postponement”.
