Let the games (finally) begin!

Shining like an incandescent Olympic torch, the Tokyo Tower is our cue to finally say, 'Let the games begin!' Along with so much else, the 2020 Summer Olympics were postponed last year (as you probably heard). But with Covid-19 vaccinations well underway and capacity restrictions in place, Tokyo is hosting the Summer Olympics opening ceremony today, almost exactly one year after the games were originally due to start.

The events will be held at 42 venues in and around the city, with most held in Tokyo itself. Organizers expect some 11,000 athletes from about 200 countries to compete. Four sports will make their Olympic debuts at the Tokyo Games: karate, sport climbing, surfing, and skateboarding. Also, baseball and softball, which were last held in 2008, are being reintroduced. Closing ceremonies are scheduled for August 8. Game on!

让竞技(终于)开始吧!

东京塔就像一个炽热的奥运火炬一样闪耀着芒,它是我们最后一次说‘让奥运开始吧!’与其他许多事情一样,2020年夏季奥运会去年也被推迟了(你可能听说过)。但随着Covid-19疫苗接种工作的顺利进行和容量限制的到位,东京今天将举办夏季奥运会开幕式,几乎正好是奥运会原定开幕一年之后。

这些活动将在东京市内及周边的42个场馆举行,其中大部分在东京举行。组织者预计将有来自大约200个国家的11000名运动员参赛。四个项目将在东京奥运会上首次亮相:空手道、攀岩、冲浪滑板。此外,棒球和垒球,上次是在2008年举行,正在重新引进。闭幕式定于8月8日举行。比赛开始!
