Introduction
• Due to the Covid-19 pandemic the Tokyo 2020 organising committee together with the Japanese
  Government, IOC and IPC concluded it would be impossible to host the games in 2020.
• The Olympic Games are now scheduled to be held from 23 July to 8 August 2021.
• The Paralympic Games are now scheduled to be held from 24 August to 5 September 2021.
• All qualified athletes, teams and slots already achieved will be valid still.
• We have requested all National Federations to update us with revised qualifications and preparations
  for the Games.

                                                                                                    2

Selection Policies
• General Selection and Eligibility Criteria was adopted by the SASCOC
  General Assembly on 9 June 2018
• This enabled SASCOC to tighten Sport Specific Policies (i.e. made the
  selection more stringent than the IOC /IF qualification criteria)
• This impacted in the main Continental Qualification Slots
• 22/23 November 2019 the SASCOC General Assembly changed this
  criteria back to SASCOC implementing the IOC/IF policy

                                                                          3

Road to Tokyo
• The IOC, IPC and Tokyo 2020 have released a Playbook for Athletes and Officials on 5 February 2021 covering a guide to a
  safe and successful Tokyo Games
• The playbook has been designed to ensure that all participants at the Games are kept safe and healthy as best as possible.
  This playbook takes into consideration the following key aspects:
     •   Before travel
     •   Entering Japan
     •   During the Games
     •   Leaving Japan
     •   Vaccines
     •   Compliance and Sanctions
• It must be note that the IOC, IPC and Tokyo 2020 have repeatedly said that the vaccine is not mandatory to participate in
  the games
• According to the Playbook, all team members will need to start monitoring themselves 14 days prior to entering Japan and
  also take a PCR test 72 hours before the start of their journey. Therefore we are looking at possibly having decentralised
  Pre Games Camps for the respective sports 14 days prior to departure to Japan.
• A key point in the Playbook is that every NOC/NPC has been asked to appoint a COVID-19 Liaison Officer. This person will
  be our key contact for all matters related to COVID-19. They will also be the contact for the IOC/IPC, Tokyo 2020 and the
  Japanese health authorities. Our COVID-19 Liaison Officer will be responsible for ensuring we understand and follow this
  Playbook, and they will receive their own detailed guidelines related to their role
• This Playbook will be updated as required to ensure it reflects the latest developments. The next version will be published
  by April 2021.

                                                                                                                       8
Road to Tokyo

• We have applied to the NLC and funding will be allocated via the Sports Trust for
  potential Olympic and Paralympic medal Athletes backdated from October 2020, this
  has been approved and is being implemented.
• Through the SASCOC Project Teams all NF’s have been requested to submit long lists of
  possible team members as well as their preparations plans. All long lists have been
  received and uploaded onto the Tokyo 2020 accreditation system. Covid has had a
  serious impact on most of the sports preparation and qualification plans as key events
  are either postponed or cancelled. This is being monitored.
• SASCOC has circulated a Team SA Athlete and Team monitoring register to all NFs to
  populate which will assist with tracking and monitoring of athlete’s preparation and
  qualification as well as health and injury status for our medical team to intervene if and
  when necessary.
• Due to current restrictions, NFs have to indicate their preferred High Performance
  Centres that could be used for pre departure quarantine camps as the plan is to
  decentralize the camps for purposes of safety of all team members and to comply with
  government regulations.

                                                                                        9
Road to Tokyo

• Whist athlete’s preparation is the NFs mandate, SASCOC engages the NFs on their
  progress about preparation/qualification and provide assistance and guidance
  where necessary.
• All Athletes and Team Officials will go through medical screening
• All Athletes selected will have Anti-Doping tests conducted or arranged by SAIDS
  if they are not in the country
• All Athletes and Team Officials will complete the online WADA e-learning course
  as well as completing the Safeguarding course.
• North West University is currently scheduling Webinars on Mental Health and
  Wellbeing as agreed by the SASCOC Board for the possible Olympic and
  Paralympic Team members.
• Daily communication is done with all relevant stakeholders to ensure we follow
  all required timelines and activities
                                                                             10
Road to Tokyo

• We are also in constant liaison with the South African Embassy in Japan
  whom are assisting us on the ground in Tokyo as we are still unable to
  travel to Tokyo
• We have taken part in a number of Chef de Mission Webinars with Tokyo
  2020 and will still be consistently attending more as and when required by
  Tokyo
• There was a medical webinar in January arranged by the IOC, IPC and Tokyo
  2020 for the respective countries Chief Medical Officers (CMO) to go
  through the COVID updates and proposed protocols. Both our Olympic and
  Paralympic CMO’s attended
