The
\nInternational Olympic Committee last week approved a new series of qualifying
\nsystems for all sports disciplines ahead of the Tokyo Olympics, delayed until 2021. According to the Spanish EFE news agency, important adjustments are stipulated for athletics, cycling,
\nweightlifting, basketball and judo. The Olympic football tournament will enable
\nfootballers under 24 to take part in the Olympics, We recall the previous age
\nlimit for participants was 23. Qualifiers for the Tokyo Olympics will be
\ncompleted by June 29, 2021, while July the 5th is the athletes’
\nregistration deadline. Olympic competitions will kick-start on July 23rd.
\nThe Romanian Youth and Sports Ministers Ionut Stroe this past Saturday posted,
\non a social network, a message stating that in Romania, stadiums remained closed
\nto the public. Stroe went on to say he was adamant about advocating his stance
\nbecause of the growing number of COVID-19 cases. Sport does need its
\nspectators, but stadiums will remain closed to the public as long as the virus still
\nposes a major threat to the people’s safety. We cannot possibly go easy on
\npublic healthcare, the message also reads, posted by minister Stroe on his
\npersonal Facebook account.<\/span><\/p>\n
