Tokyo Olympics rescheduled for July 23-Aug. 8, 2021 www.latimes.com

The Tokyo Olympics will open next year in the same time slot scheduled for this year’s Games.
“The schedule for the Games is key to preparing for the Games,” Tokyo organizing committee President Yoshiro Mori said.
“This will only accelerate our progress.”Last week, the International Olympic Committee and Japanese organizers postponed the Olympics until 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
After holding out for weeks, local organizers and the IOC last week postponed the Tokyo Games under pressure from athletes, national Olympic bodies and sports federations.
“The IOC has had close discussions with the relevant international federations,” organizing committee Chief Executive Toshiro Muto said.
