Abstract
There was a festive atmosphere in the Japan Sport Olympic Square on July 24th 2021 prior to the opening ceremony of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. The run-up to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games was filled with concern about the ongoing pandemic. These Olympics have been like none that had come before, in that Tokyo was at all times under a state of emergency which lasted throughout the games. The games, though, were successfully completed. With the start of the Paralympic Games on August 24th the POC and IOC have provided the possibility for para-athletes to also present their best. Despite the many negative effects of Covid-19, sport has again showed how important it is to stay positive and to get opportunity to compete in those uncertain times.
