    The intricacies will be addressed in the coming months

  • "A one-year postponement might impact the career/qualification and plans of some athletes, which would be addressed in the coming months and all necessary support would also be extended by us," IOA Secretary General Rajeev Mehta said in a letter to the IOC.

  • While the postponement of Games has relieved a bunch of athletes, some of them are left wondering about the qualification process.

    Most of the qualifying events across sports, which could have handed the athletes the coveted Olympics berth, have been suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic.

    For instance, the Badminton World Federation (BWF) canceled the last five tournaments falling under the qualification period.

    IOA will also consult Sports Ministry

  • The letter also stated that IOA will have further discussions with the federations once the plight improves.

    "I am holding discussions and there would be meetings scheduled with the Federations after the locked-down in India is over. Athletes' safety is our utmost priority now," the letter read.

    It added, "We would be also be consulting with the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports."
