IOC's Bach says Japanese public embracing Tokyo Olympics

The head of the International Olympic Committee said Friday he believes the Japanese public is embracing the Tokyo Olympics despite early skepticism over staging them amid a global pandemic. I hope that the Japanese people will not change their attitude toward the games, IOC President Thomas Bach said in a group interview, citing high TV ratings as evidence of their enthusiasm. Almost 90 percent of the Japanese population, in the meantime, has switched on the Olympic Games. These figures and these ratings, I think they speak for themselves on what the Japanese people are really feeling. Bach said the Tokyo Olympics is a symbol of hope after the turmoil caused by COVID-19. Now it's the first time that this world is coming together again and celebrating together. In all this fragile world with the news and concerns about the pandemic, about political confrontation, about aggression, about the division of this world, these games are offering this message of hope, of solidarity and of peace.
