Tokyo Olympics 2020 is scheduled to take place from 24th July 2021 to 8th August 2021. The quadrennial event in Japan was postponed by a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic across the world.

Fans across the world are excited to see their favorite athletes participating in their respective events and vie for an Olympic medal. The Tokyo Olympics organizers have recently made an important decision that the event will take place behind closed doors because of COVID-19 emergence during the Games.

Athletes around the world are leaving no stone unturned in their preparation for the Tokyo Olympics 2020. Over 11,500 athletes will be featured at the quadrennial extravaganza in Japan later this month.

From India, around 124 athletes will be competing in 18 sporting events at the Tokyo Olympics 2020. The first batch of the Indian contingent is scheduled to leave for Tokyo on 16th July 2021.
