TOKYO -- Since no one knows when the coronavirus pandemic will peter out, it is "no wonder" that the IOC is still considering several scenarios for the now-postponed Tokyo Olympics, Morinari Watanabe, a member of the International Olympic Committee, told the Nikkei Asian Review on Friday.
Watanabe, a Japanese businessman who serves as president of the International Gymnastics Federation and the IOC's boxing task force, recounted hourslong phone calls in which IOC President Thomas Bach solicited the opinions of 50 IOC members and 32 federation chiefs.
