Japan flag - Tokyo 2020

Olympics: 23 July – 8 August 2021

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused lockdowns in spring 2020, the International Olympic Committee and International Paralympic Committee postponed Tokyo 2020 until 2021. These Games had no spectators, and participants stayed within a “bubble” for 14 days, to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
