Tokyo: Tokyo 2020 will be an Olympic who is not like the others: held during a pandemic with a crowd of prohibited tourists, wasteful celebrations replaced by hard infection control, and even victory hugging cards.
Here are some ways the game delayed by the virus will be different: Rio, London and the opening ceremony of Beijing’s enchanting the world with spectacular luxury effects and choreography involving thousands of players at the stadium packaged.
But the version of the Coronavirus era on July 23 will be “simpler and more restrained”, the organizers say, to reduce the risk of infection and remain “in harmony with the situation”.
Fewer athletes will attend the opening and closure ceremony, Olympic officials said in January, with reports when showing only 6,000 of the 11,000 competitors would be in the opening.
The Tokyo ceremony is also expected to have respect who pays the Sombre aspect to millions of people killed in the Coronavirus pandemic and the victims of the 2011 nuclear earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster.
Athletes must put their own medals, and they will not be able to kiss them, because they have to wear a mask on the podium.
It can make candid moments – like when the Wiggins Bradley cyclist suddenly pulled a ridiculous face when the British national anthem played in Rio – less likely.
Another fun photo-ops will also be difficult to repeat in Tokyo, where athletes are asked to keep a distance of two meters from other participants.
In Rio, Snap of USMnast AS Ragan Smith – which was only as high as 1.37 m – stood next to the basketball player 2.11m Deandrew Jordan went viral, as did Selfie from a pair of North Korean and South.
Even without social distance, the latter is not possible, because North Korea has been out of the Tokyo match to protect its athletes from viruses.
Japan hopes for the entry of large visitors this summer, increases the business for hotels, tour operators, and many Tokyo cat cats.
But the audience abroad was destroyed a few months ago, and now almost all the game shows will take place behind the closed door.
The number of people entering Japan for the Olympics and Paralympics will be halved, with around 68,500 athletes, coaches, back room staff, officials, IOC members, media and publishers estimated – down from around 200,000.
Participants will be limited to their accommodations, with prohibited sightseeing and athletes needed to leave the Olympic village 48 hours after they finished competing.
In Rio, the Sevens Rugby Fiji team exploded into the song after winning gold, the first Olympic medal in their country.
But this summer, singing must be avoided along with shouting and cheering.
Participants are even urged to applaud or find other ways to celebrate it does not pose a risk.
Spreading fireworks, banners, mascots and other striking glasses will also be upgraded in Tokyo, to cut the costs that have been awakened since the event was postponed.
Athletes will take daily virus tests and are advised to “keep physical interactions with others as possible”.
But if this will put the dampener on the hook-up-up of the famous Olympic village still have to be seen.
The organizers still plan to distribute 160,000 condoms, but say athletes will not get it until they leave, and will be told that they have been used again in their home country.
Hugs, handshakes, and high toddlers are all discouraged – reduce the possibility of controversy like when Judoka Egypt Islam El Shehaby refused to shake the OS Sasson Israel in Rio after losing him.
El Shehaby was stated by the crowd – no-at all in the Tokyo match – and finally sent home from Rio.
In Tokyo 2020, athletes, media and other officials who violate the rules of the virus can face disqualification of the game or even deportation from Japan.
