Tokyo Olympics: Key features at the Games after Japan spends billions

Japan has spent the last seven years and tens of billions of dollars preparing for the Tokyo Olympics, but the deteriorating COVID-19 situation has overshadowed the hype. Despite the setbacks, Tokyo 2020 will be the Olympics with the highest number of events in history, at 339. The Games also boast a focus on conservation and sustainability. Winners' medals are made out of recycled electronic devices. Tokyo 2020 is also billed as the Recovery and Reconstruction Games. The Olympic torch, which resembles the cherry blossom motif, was made up of 30% aluminum recovered from homes destroyed in the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake.
