Tokyo Olympics 2020 Winners and Their Medals – Conclusion
After being delayed for a year and going through all the challenges of the COVID – 19 pandemic, the organisers and the Japanese government have successfully pulled off the event and brought it to an end after a year of struggle. The Tokyo 2020 Olympics emerged as a sign of hope and unity as the world came together with the spirit of sports and created a new wave of memories.
There is only three years to wait until the next summer Olympics. At the Closing Ceremony of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics Japan has handed over the Olympic baton to Paris. As the Tokyo games were under strict COVID 19 protocol instruction, Paris will be hopefully different.
