This month, North Korea became the first major country to pull out of the Tokyo Olympic Games, citing coronavirus fears and not trusting host nation Japan to get its numbers under control before the July start date.
The Olympics is set for July 23 to August 8, in Tokyo, Japan – less than three and a half months away.
Here in The Bahamas, the representative body remains steadfast. Just seven Bahamian athletes have qualified for the Olympics, all in athletics, and two swimmers have attained ‘B’ cut qualifying times. Five years ago, a total of 28 athletes represented The Bahamas in three sports at the Games of the 31st Olympiad in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
