Covid-19 cases overshadow the opening ceremony of The Olympics 2020
The opening ceremony for the Olympics 2020 would be a big struggle. The officials of the tournament are still debating about the ceremony because of covid. The growing number of covid cases in the sporting teams is very concerning. We may see a different strategy from the officials. Still, fans want to see the opening ceremony on Friday the old-fashioned way – all the teams waving flags.

The opening ceremony for Olympics 2020
All the opening ceremonies of the Olympics look the same. That’s because of how hard it is to make a different ceremony every single time. Still, the Olympics made the opening ceremony more meaningful by combining ancient cultures and modern technology. Before that, no one thought of using fireworks in the opening ceremony. So this time, Olympic officials should take advantage of the high tech tools to create something extraordinary. Experts suggest that there won’t be fireworks because it’s a breach of Olympics traditions. It would be interesting to see how they would showcase the characteristics of ancient cultures as well. There is still some room for improvement in the flags waving performance. Fans are waiting for a surprise because it’s Japan, and they love impressing people with different high-tech stuff. It would be interesting to see how the ceremony goes on Friday.
Watch very interesting report on YouTube from WKYC Channel. They discuss the reasons behind growing number of covid patients before The Olympics 2020
A growing number of covid-infected athletes
Another interesting fact is that the number of covid infected athletes is growing every day. The national teams are losing essential players due to covid regulations. The officials of the Olympics 2020 have to make a big decision. If the sportsman had a covid, could he take part in the waving-flag ceremony or not? The answer would be ‘no’ because they have to stay isolated from the whole team. There are still debates going on this topic. Reddit and Twitter is a place where fans can’t decide whether they have to take the right of participation from a sportsman who worked hard for four years and due to ‘positive covid test’ he-she can’t show themselves.
More athletes test positive days before the opening ceremony.
Olympics 2020 would be adamant about organizing. The Japanese officials have to try their best to show us the Olympics without the falls. Five days until the start of Olympics 2020, and more athletes test positive with PCR test. It’s frustrating to see how many good athletes can’t take part in the 2020 Olympics. Experts want to get answers from officials about what would be done to protect those athletes. Still, there is no exact and precise answer from officials of the Olympics. For instance, 17 years old Tennis star from the USA, Coco Gauff, announced that she has tested positive and can’t play for the national team. It’s a significant flaw of the Olympics 2020 because young stars like Coco would be a shining part of the tournament.

On the other hand, not only athletes but organizers have covid issues too. The Wall Street Journal wrote that 55 people from the organizing team of the Olympics tested positive in the last two weeks. Everyone knows that officials will have a tough time organizing this big and successful tournament. The ‘RecoverCovid team’ wishes them the best of luck.
