Olympic torch relay in Greece suspended because of virus

 

ATHENS, Greece (AP) โ€“ The Greek Olympic committee suspended the rest of its torch relay on Friday because of the "unexpectedly large crowd" that gathered to watch despite repeated requests for the public to stay away to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. The committee said a large crowd had gathered to watch the flame for the Tokyo Olympics pass through the southern Greek town of Sparta. The flame for the Tokyo Olympics was lit Thursday at the birthplace of the games in Ancient Olympia in a pared-down ceremony.

 

"(We took) the difficult but essential decision to cancel the rest of the program of the flame relay on Greek territory," the committee said.

 

The decision was taken in coordination with the health ministry and the International Olympic Committee, it said.

 

The handover of the Olympic Flame to the Tokyo organizing committee will go ahead as scheduled on March 19 at the stadium in Athens where the first modern Olympics were held in 1896.

 

No spectators will be allowed to attend that ceremony, Tokyo officials said in a statement, but they are continuing their plans for a torch relay in Japan.

 

"In line with the countermeasure policy set by the national government, we will work closely with all municipalities and related organisations in Japan to ensure the Olympic torch relay safely begins on March 26," organizers said.

POTUS names Kenneth Weinstein as US envoy to Japan

 

NEW YORK โ€“ U.S. President Donald Trump has nominated Kenneth Weinstein, president and CEO of the Washington-based Hudson Institute think tank, as the American ambassador to Japan, the White House announced Friday.

 

A fluent French and German speaker, Weinstein serves on the Advisory Committee for Trade Policy and Negotiations, which provides counsel to the United States trade representative.

 

Weinstein's nomination requires Senate approval. The post has been vacant since previous envoy William Hagerty stepped down in July last year to run for the Senate. Weinstein met with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at the prime minister's office in Tokyo on July 24 last year.
