The torch relay was held on the 14th of the 6th day in Fuchu City, where the torch was lit with a torch, which was suspended on public roads in most areas due to the spread of the new coronavirus.
The Olympic torch relay that traveled all over the country was canceled on public roads in most areas due to the spread of infection in Tokyo, which was the last time.
On the 14th of the 6th day, a "Torch Kiss" ceremony was held at the Tokyo Racecourse in Fuchu City, where runners who were scheduled to run would connect with a holy fire. In addition to Fuchu City, Kiyose City, Higashikurume City, and Nishi Runners who were planning to run in Tokyo and Koganei participated.
After performing "Torch Kiss", the participants posed and took a commemorative photo.
Of these, Yoshiko Okazaki, who was selected as the representative of archery at the 1980 Moscow Olympics, has had the experience of not being able to participate due to the boycott of Japan's participation.
Mr. Okazaki said, "Forty years later, I was able to get involved in the Olympics, and I remembered my thoughts on the Olympics at that time. I hope it will be one hope. "
On the 15th of the 7th day, we will enter the islands and runners will run on public roads for the first time in Tokyo.
