International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach remains steadfast that the 2020 Olympics are slated to begin July 23 in Tokyo and there are no plans to move the Games to another year or another city.
In recent weeks there have been rumors that the Olympics would once again have to be altered because of COVID-19 concerns, but Bach firmly denied any such conversation is taking place.
"We are not losing our time and energy on speculations but we are fully concentrating on the opening ceremony on the 23rd of July this year, Bach said." We are not speculating on whether the Games are taking place.
