The IOC is finally pushing back the 2020 Olympics. International Olympic Committee member Dick Pound told USA Today on Monday the Summer Olympics in Tokyo will be postponed and probably won’t happen until 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
“On the basis of the information the IOC has, postponement has been decided,” Pound told USA Today. “The parameters going forward have not been determined, but the Games are not going to start on July 24, that much I know.”

What the olympic village would've looked like this year.

The Olympic village is pretty much a hook up scene.
