Welcome to a new series of posts on my. blog about the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games! This is going to be about just a fraction of the things that happened until now in the Olympics!

So, here we go!

Let’s start from the huge number of countries that are participating in this years Olympic Games!

Some of the countries are:

• India
• New Zealand
• Australia
• Japan
• China
• U.S.A
• Great Britain

And many, many more! All countries in the world are allowed to participate in the Olympics!

The Tokyo Olympics were also delayed by COVID-19, and they are in 2021 instead of 2020, which means the next Olympics (that will be hosted in Paris) will be in 2024, which is actually 3 years from now, instead of the traditional 4 years that the rest of the Olympics had followed.

But, without any further ado, let’s get into some Olympic sports action!

Yesterday, India won their first medal for the Tokyo Olympics, which was a Silver medal won by weightlifter Mirabai Chanu.

It was a proud moment for all of India, and for me and my family of Indian origin too!

Today, we watched the Women’s Single Sculls Quarter-final #4 and saw that Emma Twigg, from our very own New Zealand was taking the lead! That was also a pretty cool moment for us.

And that’s all for the Olympics today. I hope to write more updates about what’s going on soon!
