The Summer Games are being put on hold due to COVID-19.
(Tokyo, Japan) – The International Olympic Committee has set a new date for what was supposed to be the upcoming Summer Games.
The Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 will now be celebrated from July 23 to August 8, 2021.
The decision to reschedule the games was made to protect the health of athletes and everyone involved and to support the containment of the COVID-19 virus.
