Olympic games Tokyo preview, bet predictions, fixtures
Let the games—finally begin! The world has been holding its breath for months wondering if the 2020 Olympics would ever be allowed to take place in their anointed city of Tokyo amid the still-ongoing virus crisis. But after a yearlong postponement and lots of vaccination shots, it looks like thousands of the best athletes on the planet will indeed be gathering in Japan later this month—although spectators will not be allowed to do the same, according to the latest state of emergency declared in Japan.
The opening ceremony is due to take place on Friday 23 July. However, some events will be held before then:
- Wednesday 21 July: baseball/softball, women’s football
- Thursday 22 July: baseball/softball, men’s football
Archery and rowing events will also be held on the day of the opening ceremony.
