Tokyo, Jul 24 (EFE/EPA).- Clouds of uncertainty engulf the Tokyo Olympics amid many unanswered questions with a year to go before the mega event kicks off after being delayed until 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Narumi Kinoshita: I think it is right that they made the decision at the moment. Although the postponement could affect the Games, I hope they can prepare well from now on ... I think it is a pity that it has to be postponed, but I think that we can all adapt to this change and make a good Olympic Games (00:06-00:21).2.) Koichi Hashimoto: For an athlete, waiting one more year will be very hard. Even if they are classified, they will not be able to maintain their motivation. I do not know if there will still be problems with the coronavirus in a year, I think it all depends on whether they can have the new medicine or not. It is a real pity that the Olympics has been postponed (00:28-00:49).3-) Yuriko Ikeda: Although we cannot rule out the fact that there could be other problems next year, but since this is the case, I hope that the atmosphere for the Games in 2021 will be just as lively. (00:565-01:07).I think they should have made the decision earlier because they knew it was going to be like that. The torch is here in Japan and I don't understand why it couldn't have been decided earlier. (01:13-01:24).
