International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach said Thursday that he would not "fuel any speculation" that the Tokyo Olympics might not be held in 2021.
In a teleconference with reporters following a meeting of the IOC's executive board, Bach said the IOC is focused on holding the Games, which were postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, in 2021 as currently planned.
"We are one year and two months away from the opening of these postponed Olympic Games," he said, when asked if the Tokyo Olympics could be postponed a second time or moved to a different country.
