This article is about the Tokyo Olympic Games 2020 maybe postpone to 2021 due to Coronavirus has exploded all over the world. In my opinion, there is more beneficial to change the date of the Olympic Games. The Olympic Games is the world's biggest sporting event，and millions of people will come together. But recently, the Coronavirus has swept most of the countries and there are more than 380,000 cases and 16,700 death in the world. Postponing the Olympic Games can reduce the spread of the virus and protect people's health.  I think there are advantages to changing the date of the Tokyo Olympic Games 2020.
