Tokyo Olympics to start in July 2021 after coronavirus rescheduling

The Tokyo Olympics will take place between July 23 and August 8 next year.
The International Olympic Committee confirmed the news on Monday, which followed a meeting of the Tokyo 2020 organising committee.
A decision to postpone the Olympic and Paralympic Games was taken last week by the IOC and the Japanese government because of the accelerating threat posed by the coronavirus pandemic.
A statement from the IOC also confirmed the new dates for the Paralympic Games, which will now take place on 24 August to 5 September 5.
The same heat mitigation measures as planned for 2020 will be implemented.”
