TOKYO: The entire Olympic movement is united in its determination to ensure the Tokyo Games happen in July and August, International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach said in a video message to mark the six-month countdown to the opening ceremony.

"I had the opportunity today to speak with all the 206 National Olympic Committees of the world and they are all fully committed and looking forward to the Games. We are enjoying the full support of the Japanese government."We had another consultation with all the IOC members yesterday, everybody is really determined to make these Olympic Games the light at the end of the tunnel.

"This goes from immigration rules, from quarantine rules, over to social distancing in the Olympic village, to the question of rapid testing, to the question of vaccination, to the question of spectators, how many? Can there be spectators?" he added. Bach said the IOC's Athletes' Commission had informed him that despite the many difficulties the pandemic presented to the prospective Olympians, enthusiasm remained high.
