TOKYO -- With the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games postponed to summer 2021, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is being forced to reevaluate his political calendar -- including on how to bow out of his post.
"I requested that the IOC consider delaying the games for about a year so that athletes throughout the world can attend under the best conditions and spectators feel safe," Abe said following a phone call with International Olympic Committee Chairman Thomas Bach on Tuesday.
