Yoshiro Mori, Chairman of the Tokyo Organizing Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, has announced his resignation. An unusual situation where the top of the tournament organizing committee retires less than half a year before the opening. However, this is not the only confusion that has arisen about the Tokyo tournament. In many cases, it has turned into international problems such as the withdrawal of the original draft from the New National Stadium, the alleged plagiarism of the tournament emblem and the alleged fraud related to the invitation. The problems continued and all the central figures who had been deeply involved in the tournament bid left the stage. (Kohei Nakagawa, Masanori Moriai)
◆ Following Former Prime Minister Abe, Former Governor Inose, and Former Chairman of JOC Takeda …
September 2013. At the General Assembly of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which decided to hold the Tokyo Games in 20 years, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (whose title is the same at the time) declared that the situation was “controlled” with compared to TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi. nuclear accident … At that time, there was a leak of contaminated water, and there was concern about the access to the sea, so he appealed to the international community. There was also criticism in the country.
In July 2015, the construction plan for the new national stadium designed by Zaha Hadid was blank. The total cost of construction expanded and was fundamentally revised. The official emblem was announced in the same month, but it turned out to be very similar to the logo mark of the Belgian theater. After that, it was discontinued.
Preparations were constantly progressing, as the name of the official mascot was decided in July 2018, but a new fire broke out. It has been revealed that Tsunekazu Takeda, chairman of the Japanese Olympic Committee (JOC), was heard by French authorities on suspicion of takeover by the bid for the December Olympics. Takeda insisted on innocence, but announced his retirement in March 2019. A year later, due to the spread of the new coronavirus on a global scale, the first postponement in the history of the Olympic Games was decided. After that, Abe resigned as prime minister in September due to his illness.
In addition to Mr. Mori this time, Mr. Takeda, Mr. Abe who decided to postpone, and Governor Naoki Inose who resigned in the middle of his term in December 2013 due to the problem of receiving money. None of the people who spearheaded the bid for the Games and played the role of waving the flag could not receive the Tokyo Olympics with the title of the time.
◆ It is not clear if the event can be held in a headwind
On the 12th, the tournament official said: “Since the bid was successful, I have raced with Mr. Mori, Mr. Abe and Mr. Takeda. With this, no one knows the Tokyo Olympics from the beginning, and the tournament that I don’t even know where the responsibility is, “he said with a complicated expression.
A street drama that leaves athletes behind, repeated at sports festivals. The crown crash also overlaps, and the result is a harsh reality that many people are not looking forward to the Olympics in the polls.
The truth is that it is not clear if the tournament can be held this summer. And the public’s distrust of the Organizing Committee and the Olympic and Paralympic Games is only increasing.
