Olympics latest
International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach hopes shifting the Tokyo Games to next summer can see it become a triumphant "celebration of humanity" after the coronavirus pandemic has passed.
"We will all be able to celebrate the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, even if it is only in 2021. You can be sure you can make your Olympic dream come true," Bach said.
"There is a lot of uncertainty remaining for the entire humanity. We all are together in a very dark tunnel, we do not know how long this tunnel is and we do not know what is happening tomorrow.
"But we want this Olympic flame to be a light at the end of the tunnel. This is why we will work hard now to undertake this extremely challenging task of postponing the Games and of organising a postponed Games, which never happened before.
"We have no blueprint for this and it will need the effort of everyone and the contribution of all to make this happen because the Olympics is the most complex event on this planet.
"We want to provide you with the best conditions and the most safe environment for the Games.
"Imagine what this could mean for all of us - these Olympic Games could then finally be the celebration of humanity after having overcome the unprecedented crisis of the coronavirus.
"It could be a true celebration of all of us, a true demonstration of the Olympic spirit, what unites us all and where we have our full commitment behind."
