| US karate champ Sakura Kokumai told to ‘go home’ in anti-Asian rant as she trains for Tokyo 2020 Olympics |

| 10 Apr, 2021 US Olympian Sakura Kokumai has revealed more details around the incident where she was racially abused by a stranger while training in a California park last week. “You’re a loser! Loser! Go home, stupid b****!” a stranger shouted at her in Grijalva Park in Orange, southern California, in a video that the 28-year-old recorded of the incident and shared to Instagram. Speaking to Los Angeles television station KTLA, the Tokyo 2020 karate qualifier said she was unaware why she was being targeted until she heard racial slurs as the man got in his car to leave. “You’re Chinese! You can’t see me!” the man shouted as he left the park. “I was aware about the anti-Asian hate that was going on,” the Japanese-American told KTLA. “You see it almost every day on the news. But I didn’t think it would happen to me at a park I usually go to to train.” More worrying, she said, was that others in the park stood by during the incident, as she had pointed out on Instagram. “One lady did come up towards the end, asking if I was OK,” Kokumai told KTLA. “But until then, as he was walking up, yelling, there were people, but they kind of kept to themselves the entire time,” she said. “I thought, what if this was my grandma or my mom? That scares me.” Kokumai said she had not reported the incident to police and was still processing it but she explained why she chose to share it on social media. “I do know the responsibility of having the platform and being an athlete representing the US, so I really thought it’s important to raise awareness,” she said. “This is happening. This is real.” Kokumai’s abuse comes against the backdrop of a rise in attacks on the Asian-American Pacific Islander community in the US since Covid-19, with a number of sports stars including Jeremy Lin and Chloe Kim speaking out. The seven-time national champion was one of the US team members for Tokyo 2020 who spoke on the topic at a media summit on Wednesday. “People are getting hit, people are getting slashed, people are getting killed,” she said. “We are, in a way, being targeted, and the violence, harassment and discrimination is real. So, again, I just wanted to raise awareness that this can happen to anybody. And we all just need to be [there] for each other and protect each other.” US gymnast Yul Moldauer and wheelchair tennis player Dana Mathewson, both of whom are of Asian descent, also spoke of their experiences at the event. Kokumai wrote an emotional post on Instagram when she shared the video, asking people to take care of one another. “I was angry, frustrated, confused, scared, but I was also heartbroken to see and experience how people could be so cold... Please take care of each other. Please look out for one another. |

| Tokyo Olympics might yet be canceled due to COVID-19 - Japanese official |
|---|
| Apr 15, 2021 TOKYO — A senior Japanese ruling party official said canceling this year’s Olympics in Tokyo remains an option if the coronavirus crisis becomes too dire, as a fourth wave of infections surges less than 100 days from the planned start of the Games. “If it seems impossible to do it any more, then we have to stop, decisively,” Toshihiro Nikai, secretary general of the Liberal Democratic Party, said in comments to broadcaster TBS. Cancellation is “of course” an option, Nikai said. “If the Olympics were to spread infection, then what are the Olympics for?” he added. A key backer of Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, party heavyweight Nikai is known for his frank comments, which come as many other ruling party lawmakers have avoided discussing the hot button issue of a possible cancellation. The world’s biggest sporting event has already been delayed by a year and is being held without international spectators. Japan is grappling with rising coronavirus infections, with numbers trending higher in Tokyo after the government ended a state of emergency, and Osaka suffering a record number of cases. The government is pushing ahead with preparations incorporating social distancing measures and other restrictions for the Games set to begin on July 23, with a scaled back torch relay underway. “We’ll hold (the Games) in a way that’s feasible,” Taro Kono, a popular minister in charge of Japan’s vaccination drive, said on a separate TV program, according to Kyodo News. “That may be without spectators,” he added. LITTLE SUPPORT Polls indicate little support in Japan for holding the Games during a global pandemic. “Canceling Olympics” was trending on Twitter in Japan on Thursday with more than 35,000 tweets from users. “If this person says it, Olympics cancellation looks like a reality,” tweeted @marumaru_clm in reference to Nikai. Olympic organizers, Japan’s national Olympic committee and the Tokyo government did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The comments from lawmakers come as health experts raise alarm at the spread of infection and strain it is placing on the medical system. Japan’s top medical adviser, Shigeru Omi, acknowledged the pandemic had entered a fourth wave, driven by mutant strains, with Kyoto University professor Hiroshi Nishiura urging in a magazine commentary that the Olympics be postponed. Akira Koike, an opposition lawmaker with the Japanese Communist Party, reacted to Nikai’s comments on Twitter saying holding the event is already “impossible” and a decision on cancellation should be made “quickly.” |

| 'Tokyo Olympics to be scrapped if not held in 2021' |
|---|
| 2020 Summer Olympics have been postponed for a year due to coronavirus pandemic 21.05.2020 After being postponed for a year due to coronavirus, the 2020 Tokyo Games, will have to be canceled if not held next summer, according to the head of the International Olympic Committee. "You cannot forever employ 3,000 or 5,000 people in an organizing committee," Kyodo News quoted Thomas Bach as saying on Thursday. "You cannot every year change the entire sports schedule worldwide of all the major federations. You cannot have the athletes being in uncertainty." Bach said that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has “made it clear to him that there is no plan B” if the games are further delayed. According to the new schedule, the Olympics will begin on July 23, 2021 and run through Aug. 8. The Tokyo Olympics will be followed by China hosting the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. Asked if the tournament could be held behind closed doors, the IOC president said: "This is not what we want." "Because the Olympic spirit is also about uniting the fans, and this is what makes the games so unique... but when it would come to the decision, I would ask them to give me some more time for consultation with the athletes, with the World Health Organization, with the Japanese partners." The Olympics were last canceled in 1944 due to World War II but the games had never been delayed in their 124-year modern history. |

| Tokyo Olympics: nine Japanese governors want option to scrap Games amid coronavirus surge |
|---|
• The leaders of Saitama, Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures – which are due to host soccer matches and the cycling road race – are among those with doubts • With 11 weeks to go before the opening ceremony, Covid-19 infections in Tokyo are rising, driven by the B.1.1.7 strain first discovered in Britain |
Published: 4:40pm, 4 May, 2021 The governors of nine Japanese prefectures believe the Tokyo Olympic Games should be postponed again or cancelled outright if the present surge in coronavirus cases cannot be brought under control. The Mainichi newspaper interviewed the governors of all 47 Japanese prefectures, with nine local leaders saying that scrapping the Games should be an option if the safety of athletes, spectators and members of the public could not be guaranteed. Three of those prefectures – Saitama, Shizuoka and Yamanashi – are close to Tokyo and are scheduled to host events, including soccer matches and the cycling road race. Most of the other governors hoped that the government and the organisers would be able to implement sufficient precautions for the Games to go ahead safely. With just over 11 weeks until the opening ceremony, there is growing concern that time is running out for drawing up plans to minimise the spread of the virus and to then implement them. There were 708 new cases recorded in Tokyo on Monday, up by 283 from one week previously, while the seven-day average of daily cases over the preceding week came to 873.6, nearly 20 per cent higher than the figure for the previous seven-day period. People in their 20s accounted for the largest number of the new infections, while health experts are warning that most new cases are of the highly infectious B.1.1.7 strain of the illness, first discovered in Britain. “If the situation with infections has a very serious impact on the citizens of this prefecture, then the event should be postponed or cancelled,” said Kotaro Nagasaki, the governor of Yamanashi. Denny Tamaki, the governor of Okinawa, replied to the Mainichi by saying that, “Protecting the lives of the citizens of the prefecture is the highest priority”, adding that if Tokyo officials were forced to declare a new state of emergency, then the Games should be cancelled or postponed. Asked at what point the decision to cancel should be taken, the governor of Ibaraki prefecture, Kazuhiko Oikawa, said this should be when it became clear it would not be safe to go ahead with the event “no matter what measures are taken”. One of the hardest-hit regions in recent weeks has been Hokkaido, in the far north, but officials in the city of Sapporo have decided to go ahead with a test event on Wednesday for the Olympic marathon. Hokkaido Governor Naomichi Suzuki and Sapporo Mayor Katsuhiro Akimoto held an emergency meeting on Monday, a day after a record 246 cases were reported in the city, the first time the daily infection rate had broken through the 200 threshold. The city also recorded five deaths. While the Hokkaido-Sapporo Marathon Festival 2021 will go ahead as scheduled on Thursday, the race is now being limited to 120 elite runners, including a number vying for places on the national marathon team at the Olympics, and around 50 runners taking part in a 10km race. Yoko Tsukamoto had previously been granted one of the 2,500 spots for amateurs to take part in the event. She was “very disappointed” that the “fun run” portion had to be cancelled. “I was really looking forward to it, but I guess I understand why they have made these changes,” she said. “The number of infections in Hokkaido has been going up like crazy in the last few weeks and it’s worse because we have the UK variant here now, so it is spreading even faster. “People are really concerned. We have been told to stay home as much as possible and to only go out when absolutely necessary, but they are still not declaring a state of emergency.” Tsukamoto, a professor of infection control at the Health Sciences University of Hokkaido, said she had long been in favour of the Games going ahead despite the coronavirus and still hoped that infection numbers would fall in time. However, she said time was running out and she was having second thoughts. “I understand that they need to do these test events, for all the sports, and I’m still optimistic that things will get better, but I do believe the government needs to tell everyone what they are thinking, what plans they had put in place and how they are going to handle this situation so that it does not become worse,” she said. “Right now, they’re not explaining things and that only makes people even more worried.” Recent public opinion polls have consistently shown firm opposition to the Games going ahead, with more than 80 per cent of Japanese in favour of the entire event being cancelled or delayed for another year. That position has been echoed by a number of public figures, with Hiroshi Mikitani, the head of the Rakuten Group, saying on Twitter in April that he thought it “too risky” to hold the Games this year. Toshihiro Nikai, secretary general of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, said on a television programme, “If it is not possible to go ahead any more, then this must be stopped quickly.” Even Seiko Hashimoto, who chairs the Games organising committee, confessed in late April to having “a lot of anxieties”. The Japanese government, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the International Olympic Committee insist they remain committed to going ahead with the Games and the subsequent Paralympics. |

| Tokyo Olympics: Poll Shows 60% of Japanese People Want Games Cancelled |
|---|
| May 10, 2021 TEHRAN (FNA)- Preparations for the Tokyo Olympics have suffered another setback after a poll found that nearly 60% of people in Japan want them to be cancelled, less than three months before the Games are due to open. |
| TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said on Monday that he has never “put the Olympics first”, as an opinion poll showed nearly 60% of people in Japan want the Games cancelled with fewer than eleven weeks left before they are due to open. Japan has extended a state of emergency in Tokyo and three other areas until the end of May and is struggling to contain a surge in COVID-19 cases, raising more questions about whether the Games should go ahead. Its vaccination rate is also the lowest among wealthy nations. International Olympic officials, Tokyo planners and Suga himself have insisted the Games will go on in “a safe and secure” way. Foreign spectators will not be allowed and planners issued an elaborate set of rules last month aimed at preventing coronavirus infections. But such arrangements have not eased public worries over the Games that were postponed last year due to the coronavirus. A opinion survey conducted on May 7-9 by the Yomiuri Shimbun daily showed 59% of respondents wanted the Games cancelled as opposed to 39% who said they should be held. “Postponement” was not offered as an option. Another poll conducted at the weekend by TBS News found 65% wanted the Games cancelled or postponed again. More than 300,000 people have signed a petition to cancel the Games since it was launched about five days ago. Opposition members of parliament grilled Suga for hours about holding the Games under these circumstances. In apparent acknowledgment of the public concern about holding the Games no matter what, Suga, when asked if the Games would go ahead even if infections spiked, replied: “I’ve never put Olympics first”. “My priority has been to protect the lives and health of the Japanese population. We must first prevent the spread of the virus,” he said. DECLINING SUPPORT Voter support for Suga’s government is now at its lowest level since he took office last year, with a majority of the public unhappy with his handling of the pandemic, a poll showed. A tweet by one of his advisers downplaying the pandemic and laughing off calls for the Games to be cancelled has also drawn public ire. Suga has said the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has the final say on the Games and the government’s role was to take steps so they can be held safely. Several test events with foreign athletes have been successfully held, most recently on Sunday. A visit by IOC head Thomas Bach scheduled for May 17-18 has been cancelled “in the light of the extension of the state of emergency last week and various circumstances we are facing,” Tokyo 2020 organisers said in a statement. “We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation in Japan and other relevant factors and will re-arrange his visit to Japan as soon as possible.” Media said the visit would likely take place in June, with one outlet saying that lifting the state of emergency would be a prerequisite. An official in Okayama prefecture said they were considering keeping the Olympic torch relay off public roads when it passes through next week. Though other prefectures have taken similar steps, they were under states of emergency or other restrictions at the time. Top Olympic official John Coates said on Saturday that while public sentiment in Japan about the Games “was a concern” he could foresee no scenario under which the sporting extravaganza would not go ahead. On Sunday, Japanese tennis player Naomi Osaka said that even though she had waited her whole life to take part in the Olympics, the risk of holding the Tokyo Games should be carefully discussed. The Games are set to open on July 23 and run until Aug. 8. |
