The Tokyo Olympics were delayed a year, but Japan pulled it off fabulously and safely with grace, class, and determination.

The 2020-21 Olympics in Tokyo were like none other: First, they were postponed for one year because of the global pandemic, then athletes were competing without fans in the stands, and then there were protests because of rising #COVID cases.

I have to say, on a personal note, I have traveled throughout America, Europe, and Asia and in my humble opinion, Tokyo, Japan is the cleanest city I have ever been to. The people of Japan deserve credit where it is due.They’re going to need it.

Never before have as many national organizing committees won a medal at a single Olympic Games. 93 earned medals at the #TokyoOlympics The 339 scheduled events were presented flawlessly.
