Naomi Osaka lights the Olympic torch
Who and how to ignite the main torch at the end of each Olympic Games has always been the focus of everyone's attention, and this has become the "top secret" before each opening ceremony.
On the evening of the 23rd, the mystery was revealed.
Japanese tennis player, 24-year-old Osaka Naomi, as the last torchbearer, lit the main torch stand in the Tokyo National Arena.
The tinder for the Tokyo Olympics was collected in Greece on March 12, 2020, and arrived in Japan on March 20, 2020.
Starting from March 25, 2021, starting from Fukushima, the Olympic torch will begin to pass through Japan.
After 121 days, the journey traveled more than 2,000 kilometers.
The design of the main torch stand was inspired by the famous Mount Fuji in Japan. The ball on it represents the sun, and the sun shines on Mount Fuji.
In fact, since the torch was ignited at the ancient Greek site until the torch relay started, the twists and turns were also a portrayal of the ill-fated Tokyo Olympics.
The successful igniting of the torch also entrusts the vision of the successful implementation of the Tokyo Olympics.

The members of the delegation waved the national flags on their hands and smiled brightly. In front of the camera, the Chinese delegation team looked Extraordinarily huge, that touch of Chinese red is the most eye-catching color of the opening ceremony.

Among them, there are 431 athletes, including 298 female athletes and 133 male athletes. Among them, 24 Olympic champions lead.
The Chinese delegation will participate in 30 of the 33 major events and 225 of the 339 sub-sports, which is the largest number of overseas participating minor events.

"Super Change and Change" live performance of the ears and eyes.
"Super Change Change" stunning debut
This is probably the most creative show at the opening ceremony. The actors wearing cartoon tights with blue and white as the main color used the style of the old Japanese show "Super Change" to interpret all of the Olympic Games. Project icon.
"Super Change Change" is a variety show in Japan first broadcast in the late 1970s. Participants are required to use their imagination and use their bodies and auxiliary props to complete the creative show.
It is not only popular in Japan, but also well-known overseas.
Many netizens said: "This is my youth." With the use of color matching and lens switching, a perfect performance was completed.
At that time, the drones outside the stadium also followed the rhythm of the stadium and used technological language to tell all the events of the Olympic Games.

Anti-epidemic elements in the opening ceremony
At the beginning of 2020, the new crown pneumonia epidemic is raging, and sports are also forced to press the pause button.
One year later, the Tokyo Olympics was finally held as scheduled, which is the condensation of the efforts made by countless people.
In this Tokyo Olympics, there are also extremely strong "anti-epidemic" elements.
A multi-person dance with a sports style as the background reflects the new crown pneumonia epidemic that has spread globally for the past one and a half years.
An athlete trains alone on a treadmill, while in other corners of the central stadium, there are also athletes training in their own way, implying that the sudden epidemic has cut off communication between the world.
As the actors' running speed gradually accelerated, everyone finally gathered together, which also indicates that the people of the world who are struggling will eventually overcome the epidemic and usher in a reunion.
Since then, the opening ceremony held a silent tribute to those who died during the new crown pneumonia epidemic, to commemorate the friends and relatives who left everyone during the new crown epidemic, and also remember those who died during the Olympic Games.
Emblem composed of 1824 drones
The exaggerated performances of the comedians attracted everyone’s attention, and as they watched their gestures, the camera turned around, and the performers representing different ages, genders and races in the venue were moving fast, pushing colorful boxes. There are various shapes.
When the lights on both sides of the stage dimmed, the emblem of the Tokyo Olympics appeared in the center of the stage.
At this time, there are 1,824 drones in preparation over the Tokyo New National Stadium.
They are arranged in the air to form the emblem of the Tokyo Olympic Games, which echoes the emblem in the center of the venue, and is full of sense of technology.
The emblem composed of drones is constantly changing and slowly turning into a sphere, meaning the earth where people all over the world live together.

The lit "wooden five rings"
At the opening ceremony, the huge wooden ring was pushed to the center of the stage by the actors and placed in the shape of the Olympic rings.
When the 18th Summer Olympics was held in Tokyo in 1964, athletes brought tree species from all over the world.
Today, 57 years later, these seeds have already grown big trees, which have been used to build multiple stadiums for the Tokyo Olympics and the Olympic wooden five rings. As the five rings are gradually lit up, the two Tokyo Olympics have been completed in this way. A connection across time and space.
A different oath session
Compared with the past, the oath ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics has changed from 3 people to 6 people, 3 men and 3 women, which embodies the "gender equality" advocated by the International Olympic Committee. They represent athletes, coaches and referees. Among them, track and field athlete Ryota Yamaxian and table tennis player Yoshikawa Ishikawa participated in the oath as representatives of the athletes.
"We are in the name of athletes, we are in the name of all referees, we are in the name of all coaches and officials; we promise to respect and abide by the rules in this Olympic Games, uphold the spirit of fair competition, tolerance and equality; we will Unite as one, promise not to use stimulants, cheat, or participate in any form of discrimination; we do this for the glory of the team and to respect the basic principles of the Olympics; through sports, we will make the world a better place." Behind the powerful oath is the determination to successfully host the Tokyo Olympics.
Under the night, Tokyo New National Stadium has become a shining star.
The five-year feast kicked off. When the fireworks started, the Olympics returned to Tokyo after 57 years.
