Marathon medal maker

On March 24, the International Olympic Committee announced that in view of the sharp increase in the number of patients infected with new coronary pneumonia, the International Olympic Committee needs to take measures under different circumstances. After discussing with the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee, the Japanese government and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, it is completed Assessing the impact of the epidemic on the Olympics, it was decided to postpone the Tokyo Olympics until the summer of 2021. After the postponement, the name of the Olympic Games will remain 'Tokyo 2020 Olympics'. The 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games have been postponed to 2021; this is the first modern Olympic Games postponed. The oldest marathon in the world, the Boston Marathon, one of the world's six major marathons, has never been postponed even after World War II since it started 123 years; however, it was postponed due to the epidemic. This is also the first time that the Boston Marathon has been delayed. After the raging new crown epidemic and the players and coaches were diagnosed with infections, the Premier League and Bundesliga finally stopped struggling and announced that all matches were postponed. Together with the earlier suspension of Serie A, La Liga, and French Ligue 1, the current five major European football leagues have all been suspended. Of course, the suspension affected by the epidemic is far more than just football, and not only in Europe; the United States' NBA, NHL and other leading international leagues in various fields have also pressed the 'pause button.' After the lockout, the real economic problems immediately came to the fore: broadcasting rights and sponsorship fees are an important source of income for clubs and professional leagues. When the game stops, these incomes are all in vain; at the same time, the wages of the players still have to be paid. At present, clubs in major European leagues basically spend 50%-80% of their annual income on player salaries, and even more than 100% in a single season; for some giant teams, they spend two to three billion yuan each year. The total salary in euros has become 'standard.' If the suspension time is too long, it is very likely that some clubs will break the capital chain and eventually go bankrupt. The complete suspension of 'Living for a Long Time' has also caused the world to rethink the nature of sports. In the face of life, sports should undoubtedly take the second place, let alone the economic interests attached to sports. Of course, the postponement of the Olympics can be devastating to many veterans. Among Chinese players, there are players like Lin Dan who are still working hard for the last Olympic Games. Postponing the Olympic Games means that they are likely to miss the Olympic Games. The same is true for some foreign veterans, such as Federer, who is aiming to hit the Golden Slam. The postponement of the Olympics has reduced his hopes of winning a lot. The epidemic knows no borders. In such a special period, the postponement of the Olympic Games is also a reality. Let the participating athletes have a stable environment for training. Participating in the Olympics with a healthy and happy attitude, so that the audience can also watch the game in a sunny environment, is also a respect for the Olympic spirit. Postponing the postponement is the best choice in line with the Olympic spirit and reality. In the face of safety and health, competitive sports must stand back.
