 An International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach says the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games have been a success, giving the uncertainties surrounding the postponed event because of the COVID-19 pandemic. For the whole nation, the Olympics fell short of the global triumph and financial blockbuster it won short. Still, organisers appear to have prevented the Games from spiraling into a COVID-19 super spreader event, a remarkable achievements given that some 50,000 people came together amid the pandemic. We have experienced a very successful Olympic Games considering all the uncertainties we had over the last two years, whether these Olympic Games, whether we could make them happen at all. And then, two weeks ago, we realised that we could make them happen with the opening ceremony. But then we had the other concerns when we had to accept this decision by the Japanese authorities not to have any spectators, whether these would be Olympic Games without a soul. Some were already speaking of ghost Games and what we have seen here is just the contrary.
