32-ите олимпийски игри в Токио бяха открити на 23 юли с година закъснение и при най-странната церемония, заради пандемията от коронавирус.
206 нации дефилираха на олимпийския стадион, а в 59 от тях имаше атлет сред знаменосците. Сред тях личаха имената на олимпийски шампиони като Шели-Ан Фрейзър-Прайс (Ямайка), Нафисату Тиам (Белгия), Катерин Ибаргуен (Колумбия), Сандра Перкович (Хърватия), Олга Рипакова (Казахстан) и Нелсън Евора (Португалия).
