- Tokyo Olympics organisers are eyeing next July as a start date for the postponed Games following the historic decision to delay the event due to the coronavirus.
- The International Olympic Committee, the Tokyo metropolitan government and the local organizing committee are all expected to make adjustments to the task force plan.
- The original plan was for a July 24, 2020 opening ceremony. A similar time frame for 2021 would have the advantage of reducing the number of changes to the existing organizing plan.
