Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics: Everything you need to know
PYEONGCHANG, South Korea — With the end of the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Games looming, here's a preview of 20 things to expect at the next Olympics, the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo.
While this is the third time the Japanese capital has been awarded the games, Tokyo has hosted the Olympics only once — in 1964.
The city was originally scheduled to host the 1940 Summer Games, but they were moved to Helsinki after war broke out between Japan and China in 1937. Three years later, the games were canceled because of World War II.
You might expect Tokyo 2020 to have a mascot worthy of Japan's anime obsession, and the six shortlisted designs don’t disappoint.
The final decision is in the hands of 6.5 million students at the country's primary schools.
The winner will be announced on Feb.
