- IOC and Tokyo 2020 organisers gave instructions on Tuesday
- Reference made to images from Team GB v Chile football match
The International Olympic Committee and Tokyo 2020 organisers have banned its social media teams from posting pictures of athletes taking the knee at these Olympic Games, the Guardian can reveal.
An insider said the message was delivered from on high on Tuesday evening Tokyo time, with a specific reference to Team GB’s women’s first football match against Chile, just hours before it kicked off in Sapporo on Wednesday.
