The eagerly awaited Tokyo Olympics will take place from July 24 to August 8, 2021. Many of the dates have been carefully planned, taking into account the success of various competitions, the rules and regulations of various International Federations, the worldwide television audience, and the athletes’ well-being.
As is customary, the Tokyo 2020 timetable will not begin with the Opening Ceremony. The preliminary competitions for football and softball, one of the latest disciplines to be added to the Olympics, will take place over the first two days. On July 23, the opening ceremony will take place. On the last day of the Olympics, the closing ceremonies will take place (August 8).
In different Olympic stadiums, there will be an enormous number of athletic events to look forward to. The athletics events begin on July 30 at the new Tokyo Stadium, with finals and medal ceremonies taking place in each session.
