Since the beginning of the first modern Olympic Games, the Games has been only been cancelled three times; once during WWI and twice during WWII. As of 24th March 2020, the IOC and TOCOG officially announced the decision to postpone the Tokyo 2020 until next year, no later than summer 2021.

In such unprecedented times with more than 400,000 cases now recorded worldwide, and the number growing by the hour, it is vital to take a step back and focus on what’s most important now for our human society.

Along with everyone involved in the Olympic Games, we embrace the challenges and look forward to constructively working towards Tokyo 2020 (the name will remain the same).

🔥Tokyo 2020 will be the first celebration to mark the global fight against the pandemic, uniting nations together even more strongly through sports.

Until then, stay home if you can, be informed and vigilant!
