TOKYO Olympics will now be held from July 23 to August 8 in 2021, confirms the International Olympic Committee (IOC), after an agreement was reached on Monday, between leaders from the IOC, Tokyo 2020 organizers, the Japanese government and the International Paralympic Committee.
The Summer Games had been scheduled to run from July 24 to August 8 this year, but it was announced last week by Bach and Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe that the Olympics had been postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The new dates for the Paralympic Games are August 24 to September 5, 2021.
