S. Korea reconsiders 2020 Olympic training in Japan due to radiation fears: Minister
  • 5 years ago
Radiation concerns have prompted South Korea to reconsider sending its athletes to train in Japan ahead of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Sports Minister Park Yang-woo told the National Assembly's sports committee on Wednesday that he's reviewing plans so safety isn't compromised.
He vowed to keep working with local and international sporting bodies to make sure South Korean athletes and everyone else are safe at next year's Games.
Meeting their Japanese counterparts this week, South Korea's Olympic committee raised its concerns about the matter, but the Tokyo committee dismissed them.
