One Year Out, a Look at Updated 2020 Tokyo Olympics Schedule

With the rescheduled 2020 Olympic Games, due to COVID-19, exactly one year away, here is another look at the schedule for next summer.

The Opening Ceremony is now on July 23 and the Closing Ceremony is on Aug. 8.

  • The swimming competition begins on July 24 and runs through Aug. 1.
  • Diving starts July 25 and goes through Aug. 7.
  • Artistic swimming is in the second week of competition, beginning Aug. 2 and ending Aug. 7
  • Water polo begins July 24 and runs through Aug. 8 with gold medal matches on Aug. 7-8.
  • The open water swimming will take place Aug. 4-5.

Overall, there are 33 sports and 339 medal events. Medals are going to come from 100% recycled material. Check out the complete schedule of competition for all sports here.

Fans anxious to get a look at the new Olympic sports and events will have their first chance with 3×3 basketball, which tips off July 24. One new sport not beholden to a schedule is surfing.

The competition technically gets underway July 25, but due to wave conditions, will have to be flexible and has the entire duration of the Games to run, if needed.

Japanese fans will no doubt be hoping their national baseball team will be playing for the gold medal on Aug. 7 in that sport’s return to the Olympic program.

Karate also makes its debut in the place of the sport’s birth, with final bouts Aug. 5-7.

Ladecky’s schedule will be tough.
Michael Andrew and Caleb Dressel may have to be quite selective as well (especially with the 100 Fly & 50 Freestyle events).
