Summer Olympic Games - Tokyo 2021
Prev
A major summer sport international event
The Summer Olympic Games, first held in 1896, is a major international multi-sport event held once every four years. Japan’s capital city beat out other candidate cities - Istanbul and Madrid, - for their 2021 Summer Olympics bid, so it will be the second time Japan welcomes athletes for the Summer Olympics. For the first time, five new sports will be added to the summer Olympics lineup: sport climbing, surfing, and skateboarding. There also will be a few new competitions that are added exclusively for 2021, which are: 3x3 basketball, freestyle BMX, and Madison cycling. And that is not all! For the first time after 2008, baseball and softball are making their return to the Olympics, and that will bring even more teams to the event. All of this makes the Summer Olympics of 2021 not only worth visiting but also a must-visit event that will give you tons of unforgettable memories.
