The opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics held on the night of the 23rd.
At the dormitory where students from rural areas live, I was not able to take classes as I expected at the university, but I was also asked about the complicated feelings of the gorgeous opening ceremony.
At the prefectural dormitories in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, where 77 university students and vocational school students from Akita Prefecture live, many of them are unable to attend universities due to the state of emergency, so they take lectures and submit reports online. The days of doing it continue.
Last night, when the opening ceremony was held, about eight students were quietly watching the opening ceremony on TV in the cafeteria where infection control measures were taken such as partitioning and spacing.
Kosuke Hosokawa, a third-year college student, said that the Olympics seem to be a distant place in the face of restricted life. "I like sports, but I still can't go to college even if I want to go to college online, so I'm around. I feel unequal and complicated because the event has been canceled. "
Moto Mizuta, a third-year college student who belongs to the baseball club, said, "Last year, I never went to school in class. The club activities tournament disappeared and my seniors retired without a match. I feel it, but I want to support the players with a pure feeling. "
