Olympics-Tokyo douses Olympic flame closing pandemic Games
On Sunday, Tokyo held a ceremony to mark the end of the postponed Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, which had been transformed by the global pandemic. Despite the strict pandemic countermeasures and the resurgence of COVID-19 variants, the event served as a symbol of the world's victory over the virus. The ceremony, although not as grand as originally planned, provided athletes with a glimpse of everyday life in Tokyo, as the Olympic Stadium was transformed into a park with grass, buskers, and BMX riders.0
