The postponed Tokyo Olympics will take place in the same venues and follow the original competition schedule, organizers announced Friday night.
"We have engaged with all concerned parties, especially venue owners, to secure the use of venues in 2021," 2020 Games CEO Toshiro Muto said from Tokyo during the 136th IOC session, which was held online Friday.
The 2020 Olympics were delayed for one year due to the COVID-19 pandemic and will take place in 2021 from July 23 to Aug. 8. The Paralympics are scheduled for Aug. 24 to Sept. 5.
