This year promises to be an exciting one for sport, with soccer's European Championships and golf's Ryder Cup on the horizon.

But, arguably, the biggest sporting events of 2020 are the Olympics and Paralympic Games in Tokyo, Japan.

The official posters -- created by internationally renowned artists and designers to leave "cultural and artistic legacies" -- have now been released.
