A woman wearing a protective mask to help curb the spread of the coronavirus walks near a banner of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics in Tokyo on Tuesday.
Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga has vowed to get the pandemic under control and to hold the games with ample protection for all involved.
Strong expects to make his Olympic debut in Toyko this year.
“It’s all very positive with the Olympics. Pretty much all we have been getting told is that they are going to hold it at all costs, it’s really positive,” Strong said.
“I think it will be very unlikely that the Olympics don’t go ahead. It’s nice for us, to really just focus on that.”
