Tokyo Olympics postponed till 2021 due to coronavirus

International Olympic Committee member Dick Pound says the Tokyo Olympics will be postponed – likely until the summer of 2021.
Organisers face global pressure to postpone the Games for the first time in their 124-year modern history due to the coronavirus crisis, and major sporting nations Australia and Canada have already announced their withdrawal.
Japan has over 1,800 confirmed cases with 49 deaths.
“On the basis of the information the IOC has, postponement has been decided,” he told USA Today.
“The parameters going forward have not been determined, but the Games are not going to start on July 24, that much I know.”
