Due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympic Games, which was postponed for the first time in history by one year, was held without spectators. This tournament is attended by approximately 11,000 athletes, including 205 countries and regions and refugee teams. It was an unusual start in the host city during the state of emergency. Greece, the birthplace of the Olympic Games, first appeared in the team’s admission march. The host country, Japan, is the last to appear. Japan was led by Yui Susaki (22), a wrestler who acts as a standard-bearer, and Rui Hachimura (23), a men’s basketball player. Participating in all 33 competitions, 583 athletes, the largest number in history, will challenge the big stage of their dreams. At the torch relay in the national stadium, Shigeo Nagashima and Sadaharu Oh, who were active as professional baseball giants, and Hideki Matsui, a former Yankees, who won the National Honor Award, played a dream co-star. Naomi Osaka (23), a tennis player, played a major role in the final igniter of attention. The biggest climax of the opening ceremony, the torch stand, will be ignited, and a 17-day hot battle will begin.
