In total, 206 countries will compete against one another, represented by about 11,000 atheletes, making the Olympic Games the biggest sports event of the year! This 2020 edition will see 5 new sports being added to the list, bringing it to 34 in total.

We all know that the Olympics were born in Ancient Greece, where it was a religious festival in which the major city-states competed against each other in various sportive events. After fading away for many centuries, it was revived in 1856 in Athens, sponsored by a wealthy Greek philanthropist. A few years later, in 1890, Pierre de Coubertin founded the International Olympic Committee, with the idea to hold the Games every four years, in rotating host cities around the world. Thus was born the modern tradition of the Olympic Games, to which we still abide to this day, except during exceptional crisis, like world wars or global pandemics. Did you notice during the opening ceremony that Greece leads the other teams by entering the stadium first in honour of the origin?
One of the most famous Olympic symbols, 'the Flame' is a reference to the Greek origins of the Games. For that reason, it is always lit in Olympia at the Temple of Hera, in Greece, by a woman performer portraying a priestess, joined by 10 other female performers playing Vestal Virgins. The Flame then lights the torch of the first relay bearer and passed it on to other bearers all the way to the host city, until it lights the Olympic cauldron during the opening ceremony.
For the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, approximately 10,000 volunteers participated in the torch relay across the 47 prefectures of Japan.
Did you know that the Flame has been reintroduced as a symbol in 1928, the torch relay was introduced at the Nazi Games of 1936?
We all know the 5 rings of the Olympic Games, but do you know what they actually mean? Each ring represents a continent (the Americas, Africa, Asia, Europe, and Oceania), and they are all intertwined as 'a symbol of unity', which is truly the ideal of the Olympic Games, unity and peace through sports. The colours of the rings were chosen so that each participating country had at least one of the colours on its national flag.
Olympic Games: 26 July through 11 August 2024
Paralympic Games: 28 August through 8 September 2024
The next Summer Olympic Games wil take place in 2024, in Paris, France. Contrary to the 2020 edition, these Games will not see the addition of any new sports, but instead some limitations in the events, by removing the 50 km race walk. The big theme of the Paris Olympics will be sustainability. The Olympic Games have indeed often been criticized for the amount of resources they require from the host city and country, while only being a temporary event. That is why the Paris Games are planning to use 95% of existing or temporary venues, to have all of the spectators travel to the venues by public transportation, bike or foot, and to be fully aligned with the Paris Climate agreement.
