The 2020 Tokyo Olympics will conclude on Sunday, August 8. This Summer Olympics has been unique in many ways. Sports enthusiasts were not allowed to watch any of the events due to the ongoing pandemic situation across the globe. Even though the games were held in 2021, the organisers chose to retain the original name. The delay was caused due to the global impact of the novel coronavirus.
