- The 2021 world athletics championships in Eugene, Oregon will be shifted to 2022 to accommodate the re-arranged Tokyo Olympics.
- The announcement came immediately after Olympics organisers said the 2020 Tokyo Games — postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic – will now take place on July 23-August 8, 2021.
- That means the world athletics championships that were scheduled to take place in Eugene on August 6-15, 2021, can no longer be held on those dates.
