(ANSA) - Rome, March 16 - Italian golf star Francesco
Molinari told ANSA Monday that the Tokyo Olympics, slated to be
held in July and August, "must be postponed".
"Health comes first," he stressed, "and sports second.
"I don't see how it is possible to bring together athletes
and staff from the entire world by this summer.
"I live in London and I am concerned. Here we are
experiencing an abnormal situation, especially as Italians.
"Golf in America," the Italian champion said, "was the last
to stop.
"Halting everything was a wise decision. We golfers have not
taken the test.
"Had we decided to do so, surely some players or workers, as
they come from all around the world, would test positive for the
coronavirus."
