Coronavirus: Will the Olympics go ahead as planned?

BBC World Service - Sportshour, Coronavirus: Will the Olympics go ahead as planned?

With Coronavirus spreading quickly in Japan, will the Olympics take place as planned?

Sportshour looks ahead to the Olympics in Tokyo and whether the recent outbreak of Coronavirus will prevent the tournament from happening.  With several other sporting events cancelled, will the spread of the virus get under control in time?

We'll be talking about emerging motor sport Formula E.  A series that's been in contention since 2011 but with climate change a growing concern, how do the 'greener' electric cars of Formula E compare with Formula 1?

The women's T20 Cricket World Cup is underway in Australia.  We'll be taking a look at the remarkable story of Thailand and how they made it to the tournament.

And we catch up with tennis great Roger Federer to find out more about his charity the Roger Federer Foundation and the work that they have been doing across Africa.
