According to a source quoted by Kyodo news agency from the Tokyo Olympic organizing committee, it is now a secret to preserve the location of the Olympic flame.
Xinhua News Agency, Tokyo, April 11 (Reporter Prince Jiang) Japanese media reported on the 11th that after the exhibition of the Tokyo Olympic torch in Fukushima was urgently stopped, it is now stored in a “secret place.
According to the regulations of the International Olympic Committee, once the Olympic flame is lit, it cannot be extinguished before the closing of the Olympic Games. Because the Tokyo Olympic Games was postponed for one year, the closing ceremony was held on the evening of 88th, 2021, this means that the flame ignited in Greece on March 12 will burn for one year and five months.
According to a source quoted by Kyodo news agency from Tokyo Olympic organizing committee, it is now a secret to preserve the location of the Olympic flame.
After Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced that Japan had entered a state of emergency on the 7th, the Olympic torch exhibition held in Fukushima, Japan, could only be stopped. The exhibition lasted only six days. The torch exhibition was originally planned to be held until April 30.
Like the Tokyo Olympic Games, the fate of the Olympic flame can be described as twists and turns. Since the ignition ceremony in Ancient Olympia, Greece on March 12, no activity can be carried out according to the plan.
The torch relay was originally planned to be held on March 26, but the Tokyo Olympic Games was announced to be postponed for one year on the 24th, and the torch relay was forced to be canceled. Yoshiro Mori, chairman of the Olympic organizing committee, proposed to expand the exhibition in Fukushima to the whole country, especially in remote areas where the original torch relay could not reach. After the exhibition in Fukushima was canceled, the future fate of the flame is a big problem.
