Various voices were heard from overseas media people regarding the closing Tokyo Olympics.
Australia "The success of the tournament should be praised"
A male reporter from Australia's public broadcaster "ABC" said, "I was surprised when the decision was made because I initially thought it would be difficult to hold the Tokyo tournament due to the influence of the new coronavirus. Is the number of infected people in Japan one? Compared to a month ago, the number has increased rapidly day by day, and I was always worried that I would not get infected. "
He added, "In the end, I think all the competitions went smoothly. I think we should be praised for the success of the competition in this situation."
Germany "Opening Ceremony Show Director Dismissal is reasonable"
A male reporter from the German broadcaster Deutsche Welle said the opening ceremony show director was dismissed shortly before the ceremony for using a sword to slaughter the Jewish genocide by Nazi Germany in the past. Is the most horrifying event that happened in Europe in the 20th century and shouldn't be a joke. I think it was a reasonable decision for him to be dismissed. "
Regarding this tournament, "I think that the infection control was strict and the tournament was held safely while the spread of infection of the new corona was serious. However, it is very disappointing that there were no spectators in most of the competitions. I think it was a tournament where something was lost. "
