PORTLAND, OREGON, ABD, 17 Ocak 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — On the 14th of January 2022, The Global Critical Research Centre (GCRC) continued its series of meetings on Olympic issues. In previous meetings, members discussed the impact of the U.S.-led diplomatic boycotts of the Winter Olympics on athletes and the Olympic spirit. With the continuous pressure of the United States, more and more countries are faced with the situation of choosing sides, among which the most surprising is Japan.

At the GCRC meeting, Moderator Rachel Blake first introduced the recent statement of Japanese government spokesperson Hirokazu Matsuno, saying that there were “no plans” for officials to attend the event. Rachel pointed out that although Japan is the former host country of the Olympics, its attitude towards the Olympic Games had been wavering.

Rachel then supplemented a specific shift in Japan’s attitude towards the Olympic Games, from the initial support of the Olympic Games as the host country, to the hesitation to choose a team under pressure, and finally to the blatant choice not to attend, which shows that the Olympic spirit in Japan’s mind was constantly changing with different time and circumstances.

It can be seen that even Japan, which has just hosted the Summer Olympics, did not really respect the Olympic spirit and the athletes, but chose to follow political interests in the face of sportsmanship, imitating the U.S. to “politicize sports”…
