Olympic Games in Paris: IOC rejects reports of possible Olympic cancellation

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has rejected speculation about a short-term cancellation of the Summer Games. The governing body dismissed media reports about alleged considerations to cancel or postpone the Games because of the political turmoil in France as false. “This is obviously part of the ongoing disinformation campaign against France, the IOC, its president and the Olympic Games,” the committee said.

Previously, the magazine Point It is speculated that IOC President Thomas Bach has set a deadline of mid-July to decide on cancelling the Olympics. Bach is worried about the situation in France after the far-right Rassemblement National became the strongest force in the first round of the parliamentary elections.
