Despite the rescheduling, the next Olympics will still be known as the Tokyo 2020 games, the International Olympic Committee says.
The Summer Olympics that had been scheduled to begin in Tokyo this July will instead take place almost exactly one year later, the International Olympic Committee says. The games were postponed last week due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The rescheduling due to the coronavirus came as a seismic shift to athletes worldwide and organizers in Japan, all of whom had been working for months and years to be ready for the Olympics. Now they'll need to reset their timetables one year forward. But many in the Olympic community have welcomed the delay, saying it provided clarity after weeks of growing uncertainty.
The delay has disrupted the complex qualifying process for athletes. The coronavirus pandemic has also ruined the plans of thousands of people who had signed on as volunteers to work at the Olympics, along with thousands more who had hoped to attend the games this summer.
