The year 2020 witnessed several major sports events despite global challenges. The Tokyo 2020 Olympics were officially postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the UEFA Euro 2020 football tournament was also rescheduled to 2021. In contrast, the Australian Open tennis tournament proceeded in January 2020 as scheduled. The NBA season was suspended in March 2020 but resumed later in a bubble format. The 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo ultimately took place in 2021, making them the first Olympics to be postponed rather than canceled during peacetime. |
