Postponed due to coronavirus, the Tokyo Olympics games is expected to start on July 23 next year, Japanese media reported.
According to sources within the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, they told Japan's state broadcaster NHK that new dates for the 2020 Tokyo Games have been decided.
The decision was taken by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the Tokyo Games organizing committee, and the Tokyo Metropolitan and Japanese governments and the sources said that all agreed on the new schedule, ANI reported.
Initially, the Tokyo Olympic Games were slated to be held from July 24 to August 9, while the Paralympic Games were scheduled to be held from August 25 to September 6.
On March 24, however, the IOC had announced the postponement of the Summer Games for about one year. The games were postponed after the coronavirus pandemic claimed the lives of nearly 30,000 people globally.
