A committee to work on the bid for the Winter Olympics and Paralympics was held in Sapporo, and participating members raised concerns about the deterioration of the image following the corruption scandal at the Tokyo Games. Mayor Akimoto of Sapporo City: “Although it is not related to the bid activities, it has greatly damaged the overall image of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.” A pledge to “show transparency and fairness” was announced jointly with Chairman Yamashita of the JOC = Japanese Olympic Committee. JOC Chairman Yamashita: “Since we will continue our bid activities, we will take this opportunity to firmly demonstrate our stance on ensuring transparency and fairness in the operation of the Games.” Seiko, a member of the House of Councilors, said, “I am sorry for the inconvenience,” and said, “I will fully cooperate with the investigation.” The committee plans to announce the significance of holding the event domestically on the 27th of next month.
