Answer 1

Haley wickenheiser felt angry after the Bach said the IOC would make a decision in the next month as the IOC says the games will be held no later than summer 2021 but they will still be called the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Explanation:

• The Tokyo Olympics were postponed until 2021 on Tuesday, ending weeks of speculation that the games could not go ahead as scheduled because of the coronavirus pandemic.
• The International Olympic Committee made the decision after speaking with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and local organizers.
• The IOC said the games will be held not later than summer 2021 but they will still be called the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
• “President Bach said he will agree ‘100%,’ and we agreed to hold the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics in the summer of 2021 at the latest,” Abe said, saying holding the games next year would be “proof of a victory by human beings against the coronavirus infections.”
• The decision came only a few hours after local organizers said the torch relay would start as planned on Thursday.
