We all know why 2020 became 2021. And until it began, nobody was sure it would not be cancelled completely.
There are activities that have been added from modern games as golf and as skateboarding. There are a third category of questionable inclusion like shooting. So many games, so many possibilities. With one exception: there are no games from Africa that has been introduced into the Olympics. One cannot imagine why this is so but one can make some guesses.
The winners of the silver medals are easy to convince if they are advanced in age like thirty-something or forty-something. The winner of the gold medal is king. The highest amount a gold medal has fetched is $1.46m. It was the gold medal that Jesse Owen won in 1936 for which Adolf Hitler refused to shake his hand.
Even now with most of the Olympic activities finished, there are people who are not sure the Olympics should be taking place in Japan under the present international situation. But there are others who are happy that in spite of the fears and the uncertainty expressed, it went on and it has been quite a success.
