“Roughly in March 2021, we will determine the composition of the teams. Somewhere at the same time, the organizing Committee will take decisions on the issue of the Olympics, which depend on the situation of the coronavirus,” said Endo.
He added that while talk about the cancellation of the Olympics is not.
