Speculation mounted today when Paolo Barelli, President of the European Swimming League (LEN) and the Italian Swimming Federation (FIN),  told home media that it was “ridiculous to keep speaking of staging the Olympics in Tokyo in July” in a broadside at the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Tokyo 2020 Organisers still issuing statements of confidence in a July 24 start for the Games despite the desertification of the sporting calendar, among postponements the Euro 2020 football tournament that has now become Euro 2021.
