Tokyo Olympics Ceremony: After India, Canada announce ‘only bare minimum athletes at Friday’s opening ceremony’
Tokyo Olympics Opening – Minimum Athletes for Opening: Around 30-40 athletes from the 370-strong team will be at Friday’s event in a largely empty Tokyo Olympic stadium, bar a few hundred officials.
“Athletes are only arriving in the village five days before they compete,” the COC said in a news release. “This means that there are less athletes in the village and that most of them are on the verge of competing.
“The focus of Team Canada remains on safety, performance, and adhering to the letter and spirit of the Tokyo 2020 playbooks.”
Basketball player Miranda Ayim and rugby sevens co-captain Nathan Hirayama will be the flag bearers for Canada’s biggest Olympic team since the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Games.
At what time does the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics begin? 8 pm local time & 4:30 pm Indian Standard Time on 23rd July.
