Reading Time: <1 minuteThe news about the new coronavirus has me worried about not only the economic damage but also the impact on the Tokyo Olympics. As a sports person and a doctor, and as a lecturer on risk management at graduate school, I feel that it is extremely difficult to hold the Olympics as scheduled at this time. My wish is that the Olympics will be held no matter what. Maximum precautions for infection prevention and safety measures will be taken, and an effective treatment will be established before the Olympics, dramatically reducing the number of infected people... However, contrary to that wish, borders have been closed in Europe, general stores have been closed nationwide in Italy and France, NAB F1 soccer, professional boxing events, figure skating world championships, and many sports world cups have been canceled, and we do not even know the start date. Olympic qualifiers and national team selection tournaments have been postponed or canceled, and some sports will not even be able to select Olympic athletes. From now on, the infection will surely spread to South America, Africa, and countries in the southern hemisphere... In this situation in mid-March, the Olympics from late July will be quite difficult both physically and medically. The Olympics require rehearsals and preparations. And it was time for the news to be dominated by the Olympics. However, as the COVID-3 pandemic spread, the main focus of coverage was on the number of COVID-7 infections and deaths, and coverage of the Olympics has decreased dramatically. As someone who has been in the sports world for many years and has interacted with many athletes, it really pains me to think about their current state of mind. When I think about the feelings of those who are suffering from COVID-XNUMX infection and those who are waiting at home as close contacts and living in fear, I may be scolded for not being able to think about sports, but I would be happy if I could take a moment to think about the mental care of athletes who have devoted their lives to the goal of the Olympics and their current position. I believe that the success of many athletes will give courage and energy to society. I am not a respiratory physician or infectious disease specialist, but in the current critical situation of a pandemic that is rare in the history of mankind, I would like to find what I can do, however small, and do my best as a sports and medical professional.
