Impact of the Postponement of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics

The 2020 Tokyo Olympics was originally scheduled to take place between the 24th of July and the 9th of August this year. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced the International Olympic Committee and the Japanese government to reschedule the games to the summer of 2021. But what is the impact of the postponement? We take a deep dive into the topic with sports lawyer and member of the Malaysian Bar, Richard Wee.
