The first modern Olympic Games held in an odd-numbered year, Tokyo 2021 is going to be very different from all of the others.
As the world's biggest multi-sports event, the level of planning that goes into running an Olympic Games is already mind-boggling but the extra biosecurity challenges caused by the global pandemic have elevated Tokyo to a whole new level of complexity.
It may not appear that unusual to anyone casually watching events unfold on television, but rest assured, nothing on the ground at Tokyo 2021 will be close to normal.
Foreign spectators have already been told they won't be allowed into Japan so they will have to stay at home while the decision on how many local fans can attend events is still pending - though one thing is already known: if they do get inside the stadiums, they'll have to keep quiet because singing and cheering isn't permitted.
