USA Track and Field, athletics' US governing body, has called for this summer's Olympics in Tokyo to be delayed because of the ongoing coronavirus situation.
The federation has asked the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee to advocate to the International Olympic Committee for the postponement of the Games.
It follows a request from USA Swimming for it to be delayed by 12 months.
The Olympics are scheduled to take place from 24 July to 9 August.
