According to USA Today Sports, the organizers have pushed the games back for one whole year, settling on a start date of July 23, 2021. The closing ceremony will take place on August 8, 2021. “These new dates give the health authorities and all involved in the organisation of the Games the maximum time to deal with the constantly changing landscape and the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic,” the IOC said in a press release.
