WARSAW (POL): Reuters informs that Polish discus star Piotr Malachowski said that officials should consider postponing this year’s Tokyo Olympic Games because of the coronavirus epidemic to protect the health of athletes. “If these games get postponed and will take place this year in November or December, this will definitely be much better for athletes. They’ll be able to prepare,” Poland’s Malachowski told Reuters. Countries including Colombia and Slovenia have called for the Games to be postponed if the coronavirus epidemic persists. Others have said they should go ahead, with the foreign ministers of South Korea, China and Japan expressing support for Tokyo to host a complete Olympics.
