The 2020 Tokyo Olympics was originally scheduled to take place between the 24th of July and the 9th of August this year. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced the International Olympic Committee and the Japanese government to reschedule the games to the summer of 2021. But what is the impact of the postponement? We take a deep dive into the topic with sports lawyer and member of the Malaysian Bar, Richard Wee.
