Tokyo 2020 Olympics Officially Postponed, and Fans Have Words
03/24/2020 03:22 pm EDT
Good Decision
This fan is happy the Olympic games are being pushed back for a year. The coronavirus pandemic continues across the world and the top priority is health. One the pandemic is over, the athletes can focus on the Olympics.
New Logo
If the Olympic Games were going to be held this year, this is what the logo would look like. Social distancing is being practiced all over the world to try to slow down the spread of the disease. Other practices include handwashing for 20 seconds and staying at home.
From Canada
This fan from Canada appreciates the IOC for making the decision. Even if the Olympics were able to go on this year, several countries would not be in attendance in order to protect the health of the athletes.
Name Change?
This fan is wondering why the Olympics will still be called Tokyo 2020 when it will now be held in 2021? Odds are the name could change, but the important thing right now is ending the pandemic because it numbers of coronavirus cases continue to increase in several countries.
Future Olympics
With the Olympics pushed back one year, this fan wants to know of the Winter Olympics in 2002 and the Summer Games in 2024 will also be changed. Odds are they won't be because the IOC likely wants to get back on schedule. But that decision will be made when it becomes a priority.
Stronger Than Ever
This fan didn't want the Olympics to be moved, but it's the right call and the world will be stronger after the pandemic passes. It's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but this fan knows it's there.
Great 2021
And speaking of 2021, this Twitter user is ready for a big year in sports. Along with the Olympics, the men's and women's Euro Championships will take place next year and it determines the best soccer teams in Europe. And the Euro Championships will likely take place right before the Olympics.
