KNT is the Authorised Ticket and Package Agent (ATR) and will endeavor to offer the same service for tickets and packages for these new dates and to protect those who have already purchased for the 2020 Games.

As far as tickets are concerned, the following is the latest information we have from the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Organising Committee (TOCOG): “As announced on 24 March 2020, the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020 has been postponed.

International Olympic Committee President, Thomas Bach, and Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe, announced the postponement of this year’s Games to be “rescheduled to a date beyond 2020 but not later than (northern hemisphere) summer 2021”.

The decision was made in the best interest of the athletes and the public in light of the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Cairns placed fourth in the women's heat, but was the first Pacific nation to cross the line which was all she needed to book her place.

Cairns' coach, Gavin Elmiger, who watched the results live from Auckland said he was ecstatic with Cairns results.

"She didn't realise initially until they said 'hey look you've qualified' and she was like 'what?' She couldn't believe it, so now there's a possibility that one of the Cook Island girls may qualify for the games as well, so it's exciting."
