RE: The First Olympics in Japan

in History10 months ago

I really feel for Japan hosting the last Olympics ruined by a damn virus. I'm sure if it were held under normal times, the Japanese would have done another sterling job as they have proved they can deliver back in 1964

Sort:  

That Olympics was already kind of a mess even before COVID to be honest. Most of the Japanese people didn't want it, but Abe forced it through, despite all the jokes in the country mocking him for only doing it because he desperately wanting to be like his grandpa (prime minister kishi).

That said, yeah they probably would have done a much better job had it not been for the virus.

I didn't know about his grandpa's story. I just remember him appearing at the closing ceremony at Rio as Mario. Sad end to his life.
