New Zealand athletes preparing for July's Olympic Games in Tokyo say fears the games could be cancelled because of the global coronavirus outbreak aren't putting them off their stride.

A senior member of the International Olympic Committee says if the Covid-19 virus becomes a problem, cancellation is a more likely option that postponing the games or moving them to a new venue.

Scott Goodman is the High Performance Director at Athletics New Zealand.
