Like so many sporting events before it, the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games will be delayed in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, likely to 2021.
International Olympic Committee member Dick Pound told USA Today that the details of the postponement have yet to be worked out, but the Olympic committee will tackle the specifics over the next four weeks. "On the basis of the information the IOC has, postponement has been decided.
The parameters going forward have not been determined, but the Games are not going to start on July 24, that much I know," said Pound.
Pound added that the postponement plan will "come in stages" because of the "ramifications of moving this, which are immense." Coronavirus Update: All the TV Shows, Movies, Sports, and
