The Opening Ceremony is underway at the Olympics
NY Post
With a blaze of indigo and white fireworks lighting the night sky, the Tokyo Olympics opening ceremony has started.
It began with a single female athlete at the center of the stadium, kneeling. As she stood, the shadow behind her took the shape of a seedling, growing as she walked. A number of athletes were featured in a video that started with the moment Tokyo won the Olympic bid in 2013, then eventually to images of a world silenced by the pandemic. Then came the fireworks, a 20-second blast of light — as if to say these Olympics have finally emerged from dark times.More Related News
