The US Olympic and Paralympic Committee on Monday night signaled it supported delaying the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo amid the spread of the coronavirus.
“[I]t’s more clear than ever that the path toward postponement is the most promising, and we encourage the [International Olympic Committee] to take all needed steps to ensure the Games can be conducted under safe and fair conditions for all competitors. We look forward to their feedback and direction, and stand ready to work in support of Team USA and in full cooperation with the global community,” it said.
