The International Olympic… The International Olympic Committee, International Paralympic Committee, Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee, Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and Government of Japan have agreed to new dates for the games of the XXXII Olympiad in 2021. The Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 will be celebrated from July 23 to August 8, 2021. The parties also agreed on new dates for the Paralympic Games, which will be celebrated from August 24 until September 5, 2021. The leaderships of the key parties came together via telephone conference earlier today, joined by IOC President Thomas Bach, Tokyo 2020 President Mori Yoshirundefined, Tokyo Governor Koike Yuriko and Olympic and Paralympic Minister Hashimoto Seiko, and agreed on the new schedule. This decision was taken based on three main considerations and in line with the principles established by the IOC Executive Board on 17 March 2020 and confirmed at its meeting today. These new dates give the health authorities and all involved in the organisation of the Games the maximum time to deal with the constantly changing landscape and the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The new dates, exactly one year after those originally planned for 2020, also have the added benefit that any disruption that the postponement will cause to the international sports calendar can be kept to a minimum, in the interests of the athletes and the IFs. Additionally, they will provide sufficient time to finish the qualification process. The same heat mitigation measures as planned for 2020 will be implemented. Reference Link | ||||
