The delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympics, forecasted by Akira decades ago, have come to an end and were largely successful as far as I’m concerned. There were challenges though. Stadiums designed for audiences had odd echoes, which sometimes made it hard for athletes to know when to start. A lack of cheering or other noises often made things eerie. And of course some athletes protested the flag. Most famous was the soccer team, shortly before the Swedes whipped them good and hard. And NBC gleefully broadcasted other protests and related segments. The network’s narrative broadcasts got tiring. The sports were good, though. Japan did a good job hosting the games. Overall fun to watch.
