TOKYO OLYMPICS 2020

THE MOST AWAITED EVENT IS HAPPENING 

 As we all know, the famous and most awaited sporting event "OLYMPICS" starts from 23rd July 2021. With 46 sports (33 competitions and 339 events held across 42 competition venues) the Olympic torch would be lit up on the 23rd which is the official opening day of the tournaments but some sports like softball and football begin from the 21st.

And due to the COVID-19 situation, for the first time, the Olympic Games would be held spectator less. 



 With a total of 11,656 athletes from all over the globe from 206 countries worldwide, the event started with the same spirit of sportsmanship, the spirit of brotherhood remains untouched after all these tough situations too. 

On the first two days before the torch march, only 3 sports have begun beforehand that is from 21st July 2020 namely: football, softball, and shooting.

For our country India the year is much more of a joy as this year the country is sending the most number of qualified athletes in 18 sports. Never happened before for the country: A total of 126 athletes would compete against the best sportspersons from the whole world. 

MC Mary Kom and India’s men’s hockey team captain Manpreet Singh will be the flag bearers for the opening ceremony of the 2021 Tokyo Games.  Meanwhile, wrestler Bajrang Punia will be the flag bearer for the closing ceremony on August 8th.


Wishing best wishes to team India.
