It's 2021 or never for Tokyo Olympics: IOC official The International Olympic Committee (IOC)

Coordination Commission Chairman Pierre-Olivier Beckers-Vieujant has stated that the Tokyo Olympics will either "take region in 2021 or won't take place". "It's unthinkable to keep such a undertaking on the go for any longer considering the huge costs, all the heaps of people involved," he added. The Tokyo Olympics will start on July 23, 2021.
