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"?

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

FR - Aujourd'hui, le 23 juillet 2020, le compte à rebours avant les Jeux de Tokyo 2020 est lancé: plus que 365 jours.□ C’est un nouveau voyage qui commence à l'approche du moment emblématique où le monde s'unira pour célébrer, tous ensemble. □ Revivons ici un voyage, 101 ans plus tôt, lorsque les Jeux sont attribués à Anvers et dont l’organisation devient, elle aussi, un tour de force. 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. The past reminds us that a combination of solidarity and the dreams of both the organisers and the athletes made these Games into a message of home for the future. □□ → Tap the link in bio to read the article on our Blog.
