It’s 2021 or never for Tokyo Games, says senior Olympic official COVID19
BRUSSELS - High-ranking Olympic official Pierre-Olivier Beckers on Saturday made plain that the delayed Tokyo Olympics "will be held in 2021 or not at all".
"It's unthinkable to keep such a project on the go for any longer considering the enormous costs and all the thousands of people involved." In March, Tokyo 2020 was postponed one year over the coronavirus, which has killed hundreds of thousands around the world and halted international sport and travel.
