The International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Tokyo organisers may have been presented with a new date for the 2020 Olympic Games should they be postponed when World Athletics agreed on Monday to change the dates of its 2021 world championships in the United States.
World Athletics has already been in discussion with the Oregon 21 Organising Committee regarding the possibility the Olympic Games may move to next year, athletics' governing body said in a statement.
The championships in Eugene, Oregon are currently scheduled for Aug 6-15 and would be the first ever to be held in the United States.
"The Organising Committee of Oregon 21 is aware of the possibility of date changes should the 2020 Olympic Games be postponed to the summer of 2021," organisers said in a statement.
USA Track and Field (USATF), the governing body for the sport in America, said it supported the discussions.
