IOC's Bach gets mixed reaction in one-day visit to Hiroshima

HIROSHIMA, Japan (AP) — IOC President Thomas Bach got a mixed reception in his visit on Friday to Hiroshima to mark the first day of the so-called Olympic Truce. Such a one-day visit by a dignitary would ordinarily be routine a week ahead, but the Olympics are set to open next week with Tokyo under a state of emergency and with a substantial part of the population opposed to the games being held during the COVID-19 pandemic.
