International Olympic Committee (IOC) chief Thomas Bach said Friday the Tokyo Games have "far exceeded" his expectations with two days to go, as anti-coronavirus measures have worked and the performance of the athletes has moved him.
Bach expressed his full confidence in the handling of the COVID-19 situation by authorities in Japan, as it struggles to rein in infections with cumulative cases nationwide confirmed as topping 1 million.
History will make a judgment on the games held under unusual circumstances, the IOC chief said ahead of the closing ceremony on Sunday.
