The 2020 Olympics were held in Tokyo, Japan. The games took place mainly in two zones across the city: the Heritage Zone, which included venues used in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, and the Tokyo Bay Zone, which featured newly constructed venues specifically for the 2020 games. The main venue was the New National Stadium, where the opening and closing ceremonies and athletics events were held. The Olympics, originally scheduled for 2020, were postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic but retained the name "Tokyo 2020".
