Tokyo’s 2020 Olympic Games will now be held in 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic — but when in 2021, exactly, remains a key question.
International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach said on a conference call Wednesday morning that the timing of the event will not be restricted to the summer months. But he offered no set dates for when the postponed Games could take place, nor a timeline for when a decision on the new dates could be reached.
"All of the options are on the table, before or including the summer (of) 2021," Bach said.
