　　According to reports, the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics is scheduled to be held on July 23. This will be Gil's second foreign visit as the first lady, and it will also be her first solo visit.

In June this year, Jill accompanied US President Biden on a visit to Europe.

　　The White House has previously stated that Biden will not attend the Olympics, but is evaluating plans in recent weeks to determine whether the first lady will attend.

　　According to reports, this is not the first time Jill has led an Olympic delegation.

In 2010, the Bidens led the American delegation to participate in the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada. At that time, Biden was the vice president and Jill was the second lady.

On July 13, Japan’s Tokyo Olympic Athletes Village officially opened to welcome athletes from all over the world.

Affected by the new crown epidemic, no village entrance ceremony and other celebrations were held that day.

　　Due to the new crown epidemic, the 2021 Tokyo Olympics will be completely different from previous Olympics.

Japanese officials announced last week that due to the rising number of confirmed cases of the new crown, Tokyo will enter a new state of emergency, when spectators will be banned from entering stadiums to watch matches.

　　Jill, like other White House officials, has been vaccinated against the new crown.

The White House is expected to announce more details about this trip in the next few days.

　　Since Biden assumed the presidency of the United States in January, Jill has been an important "messenger" for the White House. She has visited all over the United States to encourage vaccination against the new crown and promote the economic agenda of the White House.
