    The 2020 Summer Olympics (Japanese: 2020 年夏季オリンピック, Hepburn: Nisen Nijū-

    nen Kaki Orinpikku), officially the Games of the XXXII Olympiad (第三十二回オリン
    ピック競技大会, Dai Sanjūni-kai Orinpikku Kyōgi Taikai) and branded as Tokyo 2020 (東
    京 2020), is an ongoing international multi-sport event that is currently being held from 23
    July to 8 August 2021 in Tokyo, Japan, with some preliminary events beginning on 21 July.

    Tokyo was selected as the host city during the 125th IOC Session in Buenos Aires,
    Argentina, on 7 September 2013.[2] Originally scheduled to take place from 24 July to
    9 August 2020, the event was postponed in March 2020 as a result of the COVID-19
    pandemic, and is held largely behind closed doors with no public spectators permitted under
    the state of emergency.[b] Despite being rescheduled for 2021, the event retains the Tokyo
    2020 name for marketing and branding purposes.[3] This is the first time that the Olympic
    Games have been postponed and rescheduled, rather than cancelled.[4] The Summer
    Paralympics will be held between 24 August and 5 September 2021, 16 days after the
    completion of the Olympics.[5]

    The 2020 Games is the fourth Olympic Games to be held in Japan, following the Tokyo 1964
    (Summer), Sapporo 1972 (Winter), and Nagano 1998 (Winter) games. Tokyo was to host the
    1940 Summer Olympics but pulled out in 1938 due to war. Tokyo is the first city in Asia to
    hold the Summer Games twice. The 2020 Games is the second of three consecutive Olympics
    to be held in East Asia, following the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea
    and preceding the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China.

    The 2020 Games sees the introduction of new competitions including 3x3 basketball and
    freestyle BMX, and the return of madison cycling, baseball and softball. Under new IOC
    policies, which allow the host organizing committee to add new sports to the Olympic
    program to augment the permanent core events, these Games see karate, sport climbing,
    surfing, and skateboarding making their Olympic debuts.
