New Zealand athletes have voiced their support for postponing the 2020 Olympic Games, and are backed by the country’s Olympic Committee, according to a statement today.
The New Zealand Olympic Committee said its CEO, Kereyn Smith, surveyed Olympic and Paralympic athletes this morning and thanked them for their input.
“Our focus is first and foremost the athletes," said Smith in the statement. “It has been important to us to give them the opportunity to talk to us. We value their resilience and flexibility and we know working through the changes won’t be easy.”
“We support their position and will now share their views with the IOC as we advocate internationally on behalf of New Zealand athletes and sport. We reiterate the need for a swift decision.”
More calls to postpone: In recent days, a growing number of countries and athletes have called for the games to be postponed. Canada and Australia said they would not send any teams on Monday. Meanwhile, the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) said the organization had heard concerns from Team USA athletes, and that the "path toward postponement is the most promising."
