DOHA: Members of the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) Refugee Team -- who had gathered here for a 'welcome experience' and whose departure for the Games was delayed due to a Covid scare -- have been cleared to board the flight to Tokyo.
Twenty-six athletes, 16 coaches and 10 officials will be travelling to Japan in the next three days.
"I feel very excited. Finally, we are going to Tokyo!" said badminton player Aram Mahmoud. "You could think that it is like going to any tournament. But it is not. Despite the situation, I feel ready mentally and physically and want to give my best," he added on Sunday.
The official who tested had positive in Doha on July 12, and who was immediately isolated by the Qatari public authorities, will stay in Qatar until further notice. Agencies
