Bach told the BBC that he agreed with Japan's stance that the Games will have to be canceled if the coronavirus pandemic is not under control for next year.
In March, the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games were postponed until July 23, 2021 when the coronavirus spread across the world, killing hundreds of thousands of people and making international sport impossible.
"Frankly, I understand a little bit (Japan's position) because you cannot employ 3,000 or 5,000 people forever on an organizing committee," said the president of the International Olympic Committee.
"You can't change the entire sports calendar worldwide for the major federations every year."
"You cannot have athletes in uncertainty, you cannot overlap too much with the future Olympics."
The Olympics have never been canceled outside of world wars, but Japanese officials have made clear that they have no intention of postponing the Games again beyond next year.
