The International Olympic Committee has scheduled a call for Tuesday with the heads of all national federations to discuss the impact the coronavirus pandemic has had upon the Tokyo Games, multiple sources have told Sports Illustrated.
The teleconference, which will be led by IOC president Thomas Bach, comes amid mounting concerns about whether the Summer Olympics can go on as scheduled, with the Opening Ceremonies slated for July 24. Japanese officials have proclaimed that the Games will be on time, but that stance could become more difficult to maintain as the ripples of the COVID-19 outbreak continue to spread.
