Believe that, do your best to give joy and hope to many people," he said.Tokyo 2020 CEO Muto Toshiro said that sports are powerful and can impress people. "It is our duty to think about how we can hold the games instead of wondering what is going to happen to them," Muto said.Mori later said on another occasion that the Olympics will never be postponed again, according to Kyodo news agency.He was quoted as saying that it is "absolutely impossible" to put off the games again because many officials who have played a key role in the preparations are loaned from other organizations.Mori said that Japan will determine whether to admit overseas fans during the Olympics and Paralympics based on the situation of the COVID-19 pandemic in the coming months."I think we will have to make a very difficult decision from February to March," he told Kyodo.The state of emergency covering Tokyo and other surrounding prefectures is expected to be lifted on Feb. 8.
