Stanton's 471-Foot Grand Slam Helps Yankees Hand O's 1St Loss of Season ARAB TIMES, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7, 2021 SPORTS 15 North Korea says it won’t participate in Tokyo Games Tokyo Olympics to call off water polo test event TOKYO, April 6, (AP): Tokyo Olym- pic organizers have called off a water polo test event set for this weekend, Japanese media reported Tuesday. National broadcaster NHK and na- tional news agency Kyodo both cited Stanton’s 471-foot grand slam helps unnamed offi cials. Organizing com- mittee offi cials declined to confi rm the reports. The reports said technical offi cials were unable to go to Japan because of strict procedures to enter the country. Yankees hand O’s 1st loss of season The news comes less than four months before the opening of the postponed Olympics and could be a setback as organizers and the IOC at- tempt to hold the Tokyo Games in the middle of a pandemic. The Olympics open on July 23. Two other test events also appear to be off. Swimming governing body FINA said on its website that a diving World Cup event set for April 18-23 in Tokyo had been canceled, and it reported the same for an artistic swimming event for May 1-4. FINA said it would issue a complete statement later this week. FINA said the “decision of re-allocating the FINA Olympic qualifi ers planned in Japan is under review.” Tokyo organizers did manage over the weekend to pull off a test event for Paralympic wheelchair rugby. The BBC reported last week, citing a letter from FINA it had viewed, that the diving event was canceled because it “will not properly ensure” athletes’ safety. OLYMPICS Japan has attributed about 9,200 deaths to COVID-19. It has handled the pandemic better than many coun- tries, but not as well as most in Asia. The Olympics and Paralympics will involve 15,400 athletes entering the country, and tens of thousands of of- fi cials, judges, media and broadcasters. Fans from abroad have been banned from attending. North Korea on Tuesday became the fi rst country to drop out of the Tokyo Games because of coronavirus fears, a decision that underscores the challeng- es facing Japan as it struggles to stage a global sporting event amid a raging pandemic.
