The Japanese mayor forgot about coronavirus and bit the medal of the Olympic champion. He was filled with complaints, and the Olympic Committee promised to replace the award

The Japanese athlete Miu Goto, who was part of the Softball team at the Tokyo Olympics, brought home a gold medal home to her native Nagoya. But she did not rejoice for long - the reward would have to be replaced with a new one. After all, the old man was bitten by the 72-year-old mayor of Nagoy Takashi Kavamur.

During the celebration of the success of the Softball team, the mayor (standing opposite the stand with a listing of anticonaviral measures) took off the protective mask, put on a medal, and then tried it on the tooth.

But the inhabitants of Nagoi did not appreciate the actions of Kavamura. For a week, the city hall received more than seven thousand complaints. The mayor was accused of disrespect for athletes and neglect other people's security. The Olympic Committee has already promised to replace the bitten medal.

In turn, Kavamura had to apologize and promise to pay for the replacement of the award. True, it is unclear whether he will allow him to do this. In addition, the mayor will have to miss the lighting ceremony at the Paralympic Games. The event will be attended by Deputy Kavamura.
