China News Service Client, Beijing, August 24. According to Kyodo News Agency of Japan, after the Olympics, the Paralympic Games will be unveiled at the Tokyo National Arena on the evening of the 24th local time. The opening ceremony will be held in an empty venue.
In order to prevent infection, the game starting on the 25th is also empty in principle.
It is reported that this is the first time Tokyo has hosted the Paralympic Games after a lapse of nearly 57 years.
Tokyo once hosted the second Paralympic Games in 1964. This is the sixteenth. This is the first time that two summer Paralympics have been held in the same city.
According to analysis, whether it can once again become an opportunity to change Japanese society, this is the test that this Paralympic Games will endure.
As the host of the Paralympics, Tokyo, Chiba, Saitama, and Shizuoka are three prefectures in the emergency declaration period.
According to the report, although the "Joint School Watching Project" that will provide children and students with the opportunity to watch the game will be implemented, the schools and parents have received mixed reviews on this.
According to the report, like the Olympics, to prevent infection, the Paralympics will adopt a "bubble method" that isolates athletes and related persons from contacting the outside, but there are many factors that are worrying.
During a meeting with Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike on the 23rd, Parsons, Chairman of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), stated that he "commits to implement the (epidemic prevention) measures without slack."
IPC announced on the 23rd that about 4,500 athletes from 161 countries and regions and refugee delegations will participate, the largest number in history.
Including new events, badminton and taekwondo, a total of 22 major events and 539 minor events were held.
