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 official program for the 2020 Summer Olympics was approved by the IOC executive board on 9 June 2017. IOC president Thomas Bach stated that the goal for the Tokyo Summer Olympics was to give them a more “youthful” and “urban” appeal, and to increase the number of female participants.[141][142]
The Games will feature 339 events in 33 different sports, encompassing a total of 50 disciplines. Alongside the five new sports that are expected to be introduced in Tokyo, fifteen new events within existing sports are also planned, including 3×3 basketball, freestyle BMX, and the return of madison cycling, as well as new mixed events in several sports.
In the list below, the number of events in each discipline is noted in parentheses.
