Cancellation would really harm the Japanese economy I’d imagine. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

I can’t trust a man named Dick Pound He is the longest serving IOC member, and someone who is seen as the most vocal critique or how the IOC conducts its business. Plus, how can you not love a Dick Pound? “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
