One Year to Go

7/23/2020

July 23 marks one year to go for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Tokyo 2020 celebrated with a private ceremony featuring Olympic hopeful Rikako Ikee, who proposed "Imagine the world in a year: a world where the curtain is set to rise on the Olympic and Paralympic Games".

Will it be the "great comeback festival of sport"?

United by our differences, we have the strength to achieve the incredible.#StrongerTogether #1YearToGo until @Tokyo2020.
