Briefly, we are talking about the Tokyo Olympics, but I would like to turn to the Winter Olympics in Beijing in 2022. What sort of funding goes to the athletes involved in those games in the context of the overall funding? We have 90 athletes going to the Tokyo Olympics. Qualification for Beijing is not yet complete, but I know about five to ten athletes are going. Is the funding provided to athletes going to the Winter Olympics proportional?
