One Year to Go

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"?

A little roundup of the many commemorations below from the Olympic sports world. Here's to #StrongerTogether!

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

''Sport is about more than just the athletes. It takes the support of many different types of people to make it happen.''@rikakoikee, who has been battling leukemia, shares her message with the world.#1YearToGo to #Tokyo2020 event: https://t.co/JlwoVeBcrM #StrongerTogether pic.twitter.com/EIswCl4zc5

Le passé nous rappelle que la solidarité, le rêve des organisateurs et des athlètes ont offerts des Jeux porteurs d’un message d’espoir pour l’avenir. □□ → Lien dans la bio pour consulter l'article sur notre Blog. #StrongerTogether #1YearToGo #StrongerTogether #StayActive #StayStrong #StayHealthy #olympicspirit @olympics EN - Today, 23 July 2020, the countdown to the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 begins: just 365 days to go now. □ A new journey is beginning, towards the emblematic moment when the world will gather together to celebrate as one. □ Here, we relive a journey from 101 years ago, when the Games were awarded to Antwerp, and organising them became another tour de force.
