The artistic swimming event qualifier was to be held the first week in March and has now been set for two months later. The swimming event will now be the final qualifier.
The move was made due to travel restrictions as COVID-19 continues to spread in Japan. Tokyo 2020 said other qualifying events in Japan, including the Diving World Cup in April and marathon swimming in May, are still a go.
