The Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games will be canceled if the coronavirus pandemic extends into next year,
the president of the organizing committee said Tuesday.
Speaking to Japan’s Nikkan Sports daily, Yoshiro Mori described COVID-19 as “fighting an invisible
enemy” and admitted the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Tokyo organizers could not
afford another postponement.
“In that case, it’s canceled,” Mori said when asked whether the Games could be delayed by a further
12 months, should coronavirus still be a threat next year.
…
Originally scheduled to be held in Tokyo between July 24 and August 9 this year, the Games will
instead take place from July 23 to August 8 2021.
With the exception of the two world wars, the Olympics have never been canceled or postponed since
they began in their modern guise in 1896.
