Place and time of the Olympiad
Initially, the Summer Olympics were supposed to take place in 2020, but the coronavirus pandemic ruined all the plans of the organizers and athletes. The competition had to be postponed to ensure maximum safety for the life and health of the participants.
Therefore, the Olympics officially starts on July 23, 2021. It is on this day that the opening ceremony will take place, which is traditionally famous for its colorfulness. But it is important to remember that some sports will still start hosting events on July 21st. This schedule has been planned for floorball and football to accommodate all scheduled matches within the allotted time.
The venue of the competition has remained unchanged – the Olympic Games will be held in Tokyo. The Japanese city has all the necessary infrastructure, and 23 locations with modern sports facilities will allow all events to be held without a threat to athletes.
On August 8, the official closing ceremony will take place, which will bring the finish line under a crazy marathon of basketball, tennis, swimming and even golf. 339 sets of awards will find their owners. It will not do without demonstration performances, when spectators can enjoy the beauty of artistic gymnastics.
Russian national team: chances for medals, scandals with doping, flag and anthem
The Russian national team has been constantly featured in the center of various sports scandals for a long time. This is due to the resonant “case of Rodchenkov”, which revealed to the whole world the sensational details of the victories of the national team in the international arena. Many athletes were convicted of doping, and the national team was punished by deprivation of the official name, anthem and flag. At the Summer Olympics in Tokyo, she will act as the Russian Olympic Committee. This is due to the fact that in 2018 the organization nevertheless regained its status.
There were no special questions with the choice of a new flag – the banner of the Russian Olympic Committee will accompany athletes throughout the entire Olympics. At the opening ceremony, it will be carried by famous athletes – fencer Sophia Velikaya and volleyball player Maxim Mikhailov. But with the anthem for a long time there were fierce disputes. Initially, there were attempts to use Katyusha as it, but the national team never won the right to sound a war song. Therefore, instead of the anthem of the Russian Federation, a fragment from the 1st concert by Tchaikovsky will sound throughout the Olympics.
There is confidence that such an attitude towards the Russian national team will only spur athletes from Russia to serious achievements. Of course, the main favorite of the competition is the national team of Japan, which will try to please its fans. But there are some sports in which Russia is simply obliged to shine. These include weightlifting, synchronized swimming, judo and volleyball. But in other sports, all fans of the national team are waiting exclusively for victory.
