[环球网报道见习记者 林泽宇]Based on reports from the Asahi Shimbun, Kyodo News and other Japanese media, the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee announced on the 15th that a foreign athlete preparing to participate in the Tokyo Olympics tested positive for the new crown. The report quoted the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee as saying that the nationality, age, gender and other information of the player were not announced because of “it is related to (the player’s) privacy” and other reasons. In this regard, although there are opinions that the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee’s move is not inappropriate, there are also criticisms that the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee seems to be “concealing information” and that the public cannot “safe and rest assured” if the details are not announced.
According to reports, the athlete who tested positive for the new crown did not go to the Tokyo Olympic host city to participate in pre-match training after entering Japan, but went directly to the Olympic Village under the jurisdiction of the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee. The Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee stated that the athlete did not actually step into the Olympic Village, saying that this is the first Olympic athlete who has tested positive for the new crown within the jurisdiction of the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee.

According to the “Asahi Shimbun”, there have been players who tested positive for the new crown among the delegations that went to the Tokyo Olympics host city to participate in the pre-match training. However, the Japanese Cabinet Office, which is responsible for matters related to the Tokyo Olympics host city, was unsure when it released the news. It also announced the nationality of those who tested positive for the new crown. For example, a Lithuanian Olympic athlete found positive for the new crown during a pre-match training in Hiratsuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture on the 9th.

“If you are really pursuing’safety and peace of mind’, then you will release the information to me. (Is this) concealing information?”

On the other hand, some netizens think that the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee’s move is not wrong, saying that “it is understandable to protect privacy (not to disclose nationality and other information)”, but the netizen also said, “When did you enter Japan? I have been vaccinated with the new crown vaccine, and information like this needs to be disclosed.”↓
