Indian Olympic Association President Narinder Batra said Saturday that there is opposition to the Olympic competition amid the corona epidemic, but holding a sporting event in Tokyo conveys a strong message that we have gone beyond this tragic situation. The Tokyo Olympics was postponed for a year due to a corona epidemic last year. Batra, an IOA president and member of the International Olympic Committee, hoped the scheduled games would be held from July 23.
In an interview with PTI, he said, “Life goes on and the Olympics send a strong message that we are overcoming the corona epidemic.” “There is opposition to the Games, but now Japan’s organizing committee and the IOC have to take a decision,” Batra said. “As far as Indian players are concerned, we are taking all necessary precautions and trying our best,” he said. The day before, opponents of the Olympic Games in Japan had applied for the cancellation of the Games. The fourth wave of coronary epidemic is taking place in Japan.

Japan has imposed an emergency on three more areas. Batra promised that travel ban from India would not affect Indian athletes participating in the Olympics. “This is a temporary ban that many countries have implemented, but the protocol for the Olympics is different, which member states have to abide by,” he said. He said, ‘I promise the Indian players who qualify for the Olympics will not face any problem. The organizing committee and the IOC have promised this. They have no obligation. ‘
“India is following all the vaccine protocols for the Olympic athletes,” he said. He said, ‘We are following all the protocols of the IOC and the organizing committee on vaccination. They are talking to the government about the safe journey of their players. We are exploring the possibility of arranging one-way chartered flights with no one in touch. ‘
