Tokyo already has inaugurated the JJ.OO. More atypical of all with a marked ceremony by the times that live . His staged could not hide of an olympic stadium that lamentably found empty, that only the parade of the distinct delegations could reduce this fact.
The coronavirus is something that did not overlook. In fact, there were explicit references to a pandemia that has trastocado the life of many, as much as the own development of these Games, stiffened by the cautions and undressed of the atmosphere that always has defined to said sportive event.
Showy effects
A surprising three-dimensional choreography of 1.824 drones luminous and the futuristic torch were the only granting that served for camuflar the penalties product of the pandemia. While out of the stadium found some demonstrators against the celebration of the JJ.OO., the show started with fires pirotécnicos and a symbolic representation of the human body, giving step to some dancers-carpenters that drew the olympic rings with wood of the pines that planted in diverse points of the country when 57 years backwards, Tokyo received some extremely different Games to these.
There was a minute of silence by the victims of the coronavirus and showed images of the sportsmen training in his houses in full confinement, something that was not in the script recently more than a year before the suspension of the Olympic games.
In the stage avoided explicitly the accumulation of a lot of people, something that there would be exasperado to the local public opinion, manifestly contrary to these Games that sail to contracorriente. Only the parade of the athletes, significantly less numerous that in previous olympic editions, insufló life to a stadium with 1.000 VIPs in some smart terracings to receive to 60.000 viewers.
There was a lot of championing double, also in the traditional olympic swearing that surely will continue seeing in the future. There were not disorders neither euphoria, the happiness always showed with contained education, very little by the already known circumstances. And some delegation, like Kazakhstán, went to the parade without using masks.
The end
Afterwards of the parade of the sportive delegations of each country. The interminable speeches, especially of the president of the COI, Thomas Bach, that emulated to the extinct Cuban dictator, Fidel Castro, expressing messages of hope and gratitude, did not contribute a lot to do but bearable the event before Naruhito (Japanese emperor) announced the Olympic games inaugurated.
Finally, after a ceremony that will not happen to the history by his show of inauguration, went the tennist Naomi Osaka the attendant to light the pebetero, unseen in a similar conical structure to the mountain Fuji. All a symbol: a big sportsman, but also a mongrel person and with psychological problems that already has recognised. Something that obviously is a message in pro of the inclusion.
