As the world continues to panic about coronavirus, the International Olympic Committee brings us some good news. Today, during a press briefing, IOC spokesperson Mark Adams confirmed that this year’s games scheduled to take place in Tokyo starting July 24 will continue as scheduled. Pandemic be damned! Adams claims that the IOC has been in contact with the World Health Organization and that they’ve not given any advice to cancel or postpone the games. Prior to this announcement, several Olympic qualifying events had been moved or canceled altogether in an effort to contain the virus. Boxing qualifiers for the Asian and Oceanic regions were canceled and a qualifying tournament for four women’s soccer teams was moved from Wuhan to Australia.
