Sebastian Coe: 2021 World Athletics Championships may be rescheduled like Olympics
World Athletics President Sebastian Coe believes that the 2021 World Athletics Championships may be rescheduled for the following year because the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo were moved for one year over COVID-19 pandemic, Japan’s Kyodo news agency reported on Friday, according to TASS.
"Nobody saw this problem [with the coronavirus]...So the flexibility here is very important," the news agency quoted Sebastian Coe as saying and added that, according to him, the World Athletics Championships may be moved to 2022.
The 2021 World Athletics Championships is to be held in the US state of Oregon on August 6-15.
