The Canadian Olympic Committee has decided it will not send a team to the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games unless they are postponed for a year.

Canada is the first country to say they won't go.

Australia is backing up the Canadians, while Russia says it backs the IOC and their plan to wait another month before making a decision on whether or not to cancel the games.

The C-O-C feels it's not safe for Canadian Athletes, their families, and the broader community to attend the games given the pandemic gripping the world right now.
