The 2020 Olympic Games (officially Games of the XXXII Olympiad) are scheduled to be held in Tokyo from 23 July to 8 August 2021. Originally they were to be held from 24 July to 9 August 2020, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic spreading worldwide from spring 2020, they were postponed by almost exactly one year; this was the first time that Olympic Games were scheduled outside the usual 4-year rhythm. The Japanese capital already hosted the Games in 1964. Most of the competitions are to be held within eight kilometres of the Olympic village. (deepl)
