The Hindu
Half-marathon held by following all the safety protocols
Sebastian Coe, the head of the World Athletics, said a half-marathon test event run here on Wednesday made him confident that the Olympic marathon can be held successfully in the city when the Tokyo Games opens in just under three months. Spectators were encouraged to stay off the streets and not watch the race in person. Security officials held signs on the roads that read: ”Please refrain from watching the event from here.” The smattering of competitors from abroad were largely restricted to their hotel rooms while not competing or training. Coe said strict protocols measures against COVID-19 were followed.More Related News
