Macron says Paris Olympics opening could be moved

French President Emmanuel Macron has stated that the opening of the Paris Olympics could be moved in order to avoid a clash with the delayed Tokyo Olympics. The Tokyo Games were rescheduled to take place in July and August 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Macron believes that it would be more beneficial for both events to have some space between them to allow athletes, officials, and spectators to attend both games. He emphasized the importance of ensuring the success of both events and creating a harmonious environment for athletes around the world.

While discussions are still ongoing, Macron’s suggestion has been met with support from the International Olympic Committee and other stakeholders. More updates are expected as plans for the Paris Olympics continue to develop.
