After a long wait and the COVID-19 pandemic obstacles, Tokyo will be the capital of the sports world for the next two weeks.

An international multi-sport event is scheduled to be held from the 23rd of July to the 8th of August. It will be held behind closed doors. Despite taking place in 2021, the event retains the Tokyo 2020 name for marketing and branding purposes. This is the first time the Olympics have been postponed, rather than canceled.

The first day of the Olympic Games will also include symbolic basketball accents. A total of nine basketball players will be the flag bearers for their respective countries, including Patty Mills (Australia), Tomas Saturansky (Czech Republic), Sue Bird (United States), Rui Hachimura (Japan), and others.
