Almost all major sports tournaments around the world were canceled within the last one month due to Coronavirus. The IPL, the world's most expensive T20 cricket league, was also postponed, as the way people were dying from this unknown disease, the Olympics were also not untouched. It seemed almost certain that Tokyo 2020 would be pushed forward and the same happened. For the first time in history, the Olympics were postponed for a year due to some illness. The Tokyo Olympic Games were to be held from 24 July to 9 August. Now the new date came on 30 March and according to this, these games will be organized between 23 July 2021 to 8 August 2021.

Why so long to postpone it?

For your information, let us tell you that many National Olympic Committees (NOCs) from all over the world had already requested to postpone the event. Canada and Australia had clearly said that their athletes will not participate in these sports. Highly placed sources said that the organizers of the IOC (International Olympic Committee) and Tokyo 2020 were wishing that the initiative to postpone the Games should not come from them. This is because the decision to pursue the Olympics would have business and legal consequences and nobody wanted to take responsibility for it. This situation also persisted because no such order came from the World Health Organization (WHO), which stated that the Olympics could not be held due to Corona's growing infection.

Corona cases in Japan's capital Tokyo have increased surprisingly. Last week, ie on 25 March, as the cancellation of Olympics was announced, the number of positive patients daily increased from 16 to 63 suddenly. It is now feared that even on such a sensitive issue, Japan has been lying to the world and pressing the figures of Corona for organizing the Olympics. Former Japan Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama also believes that the number of corona patients was suppressed due to the Olympics. However, if the health minister of the country obeyed, the postponement of the Olympics and new cases of Corona have nothing to do with each other. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said, 'There is doubt in the minds of the people that the number of patients has been hidden, there is no truth in it.'
