Among all of the health problems it's caused and events it's postponed are the 2020 Summer Olympics and Paralympics. The Summer Games were supposed to kick off in Tokyo, Japan, on July 24th.

疫情不仅造成了健康问题，还导致2020年夏季奥运会和残奥会等赛事推迟。夏季奥运会原定于7月24日在日本东京开幕。

Leaders from the International Olympic Committee, Japanese Olympic organizers and the Japanese government held a phone call on Monday and decided the events would start almost exactly a year later, on July 23rd, 2021.

周一，国际奥委会、日本奥组委以及日本政府领导人举行电话会议，决定将奥运会推迟至一年后的2021年7月23日举办。

IOC president Thomas Bach said humankind currently finds itself in a dark tunnel and that these Olympic Games can be a light at the end of it. But for the country of Japan, the buildings that's constructed for the events and for the athletes themselves, this presents a number of new challenges, how can they be overcome.

国际奥委会主席托马斯·巴赫表示，人类目前处于黑暗的隧道中，东京奥运会可能是这条隧道尽头的曙光。但对日本这个国家、为赛事修建的建筑以及运动员本身来说，这项决定带来了许多新的挑战。问题是，他们要如何克服？
