It’s looking more and more certain that the 2020 Olympic Games will not happen in 2020.
In an exclusive obtained yesterday by USA TODAY Sports’ Christine Brennan, IOC member Dick Pound told her that the Tokyo 2020 games would in fact be postponed.
The IOC did not issue an official statement, however.
The postponement plan seems to be gaining momentum. NHK TV in Japan reported on Tuesday that Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will propose a one-year postponement of the 2020 Tokyo Games.
Whenever this occurs, it will be a logistical nightmare to re-arrange, re-schedule, re-everything … which is most likely why the IOC has dragged its feet so long on this.
