It was the best decision, for the athletes, the economy and all the people involved. However I wonder how they'll deal with both OG, Euro2021, the usual events (Tour de France, Wimbledon) and all the world championships that should take place in August 2021 (FINA and IIAF to name a few)... But from what I heard, Sebastian Coe, IIAF President, is ready to postpone the WC to 2022.
And I just wanted to share today's front page of L'Equipe, French biggest sports newspaper, in honour of both the Olympic Games and Albert Uderzo, dessinator of Asterix who died yesterday.

The Amaury Sports Organization (the organizers of the Tour de France) pushed back this year's event to start on June 27 due to the planned start of the Olympics being a little over a month later. I think they would do that again given the circumstances, even with the 2021 Tour departing from Copenhagen, Denmark
