2020 Summer Olympics Postponed

     The 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan was postponed on Tuesday because of the coronavirus pandemic. It was to be held from July 24 until August 9 this year. The Olympics may possibly be held in the summer of 2021.
     It will be the fourth time that the Olympics will not be held at the appropriate time during the modern era. It was cancelled in 1916 due to World War I along with 1940 and 1944 because of World War II.
     Some United States athletes from the state of Florida will be effected by this. They include people who are involved in track and field, tennis and swimming.
