Following Canada and Australia's refusal to send their athletes to Japan this July to compete in the Olympics, and pressure from France and Britain, the Tokyo Olympics 2020 will not be held since they cannot be carried out in full.
It is believed Japan's Prime Minister will introduce talks with the International Olympics Committee to hold the games in 2021.
This is the first time that the Olympics have been postponed. It has however been cancelled three times due to world wars in 1916, 1940 and 1944.
