＜Agenda＞

Olympic in the future

From 23rd July onward, Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games 2020 would be held in Tokyo after the one year postponement due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

When Ms. Koie and Mr. Abe took over the Olympic Flag at Rio De Janeiro in Brazil, many Japanese people felt that the  Olympic games are bright and fantastic events. Therefore, they were excited that the Olympic games are held in Japan again. On the other hand, some Japanese people might feel the unclear target of having the Olympic games again in Japan, compared to the last Tokyo Olympic games 1964, as the symbolistic events of recovery from the damage of WWII.

If we look back on the history of the Olympic games, a lot of scandals could be found, such as corruption, boycott, commercialized event, and issues between professionals and amateurism. Or sometimes, the Olympic games also abused to appeal to political or international issues.

We are at the turning point to think about the future of Olympic games by return back to the starting point.


1)Do you usually watch the Olympic games? If yes, please share your favorite sports of Olympic games and enjoyable points. If no, Why don’t you watch it?

2)Please share issues you can find out for the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games 2020.

3)What are your ideal Olympic games? Please share your idea.
 (Location, events, operation, etc)
