The 2020 Tokyo Olympics was closed a week ago. It was postponed until this year because the coronavirus infection started spreading all over the world last year. However, the spread of infection hadn't stopped even after a year, so some media of the world and even Japan opposed the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
The Japanese prime minister, Suga, said "It was easier to stop the Olympics, but we want to prove and give the hope that Olympics can be held in a pandemic with strict infection control measures." and decided to hold the Olympics without spectators.
It was disappointing to watch athletes performing without a large number of spectators, but we could watch their hard performances on TV. After the Olympics, many athletes and the Olympic officials appreciated that Japan held the Olympics. The Japanese government succeeded in keeping the number of coronavirus infections of the athletes and Olympic officials low and prove that Olympics could be held in a pandemic.

Hi, Estanis. Thank you for your nice comment．
Hi! Tam,
I was trying to follow events of Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. Back in the days, I used to watch Olympic Games with utmost interest. Lately, I searched for the event names. Interestingly, I found I don't know plenty of events or games name in English. I tried to get the name in English and permanent them in memory, but that didn't work.
Sexualiztion of women body in Sports caught a lot of attention on Tokyo2020. Sometimes it seems to me that, for women, sports is not as important as the outfit they wear!!
Increasing women's participation at Tokyo2020 was also a great interest for me. It's a great feeling that women's are now almost equally competing in Olympic Games in terms of number of female athletes. Women's participation was 48.8 percent at Tokyo2020. That's a great news! In addition to being most gender-balanced games in history,the IOC has also changed its rules to allow one male and one female athlete to jointly carry their flag during the Opening Ceremony.
One news reminded me the days of cold war ear, asThe Belarus Olympic athlete Krystsina Tsimanouskaya refused to fly after she was threatened with being repatriated to Minsk over her criticism of Olympic team officials.
Hi, Shaheen. Thank you for your comment I agree with you. The theme of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics is "diversity and harmony". LGBT athletes also joined this Olympics.
As for the Belarus Olympic athlete, Krystsina Tsimanouskay, it became a world topic. She defected to Poland.
Without any flattery my friend, Japan held the Olympics in a successful way. I was very eager to watch it as much as I could. God bless you.
Hi, Sewar. Thank you for your nice comment．
