Tokyo, July 23 : Following extensive discussions with the International Olympic Committee, Guinea, an African nation, has decided to send its five-member contingent to the Tokyo Olympic Games after pulling out of the quadrennial showpiece, citing resurgence of Covid-19 variant.
The secretary general of the Ministry of Sports in Guinea Isto Keira was quoted as saying by the local media that the decision of his government was motivated by a letter that the IOC sent to the Guinean authorities on Thursday.

Guinea cancelled its participation in the Tokyo Olympics on Wednesday due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the west African state’s sports minister announced.
However, a source close to the government in Conakry said that the decision not to send its five-person team was a consequence of financial constraints.
“Due to the resurgence of COVID-19 variants, the government, concerned with preserving the health of Guinean athletes, has decided with regret to cancel Guinea’s participation in the Tokyo Olympics,” Minister of Sports, Sanoussy Bantama Sow, wrote in a letter addressed to the president of the Guinean Olympic Committee that was seen by AFP.
