    Tokyo Olympics was postponed until 2021

  • The Games were scheduled for July 24-August 9, but after telephone discussions between IOC president Thomas Bach and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, a historic joint decision was taken for the postponement of an Olympics in peacetime.

    Osaka, who was likely to be one of the faces of the event, weighed in on the decision, saying that the focus now is on saving lives.

I support Prime Minister Abe's brave decision and the IOC 100%."
