Posted in: Postponing the Olympics: Here are some of the challenges See in context
As a marginally interesting alternative, would postponing the Olympics to spring 2021 – that is, hold them in April or May next year rather than mid-summer – be a possibility?
There are two definite advantages of postponing to spring 2021 rather than to the next summer. The first is that the weather in Tōkyō is much better in the spring than in summer and has no risk of typhoons, and the second is that some potential conflicts with world championships in Olympic sports like athletics and swimming would be avoided or reduced. A postponement shorter by three months would also potentially mean marginally fewer logistical problems.
