The Olympics

It's over a month now since the Tokyo Olympic games commenced. It has since been an electrifying moment for athletes and sports lovers around the world. It is indeed a dream come through for sports lovers around the world as they now have the opportunity to travel and view the games from their different locations. The pandemic however has played a major role in the delay of the games since 2020 and that's the very reason why the game is tagged Tokyo2020.

Qualified Athletes from different parts of the world participating in various sports find their way to Tokyo to represent their respective countries. It is a fight for the gold medal. Athletes compete face to face having the common goal of making their country or nation proud.

The fight and the contest for the gold medal can't be overemphasized as all teams get prepared to put in their 100% experiences and skills in other to secure the medal.

We must also however know that there are other medals up for grabs for the second and third place winners of the contests. Some of the games played at the Olympics are football, basketball, swimming, water polo, fencing, hockey, golf, wrestling, volleyball, kayaking, and many more.

The Olympic games or season is a game filled with mixed feelings. The atmosphere is filled up with supportive spectators representing the different and specific teams playing. Each Country, however, has got its various lead athletes, these lead athletes have got a track record of consistency over time, they might as well have been frequent participants in the Olympics. They are expected to give their country's a boost of assurance for the win.

The hope and faith of each country rest on the shoulders of her team players. Every citizen looks up to them to bring home the medals, in as much as the gold medal is the most sought for, the silver and bronze medals are also gratefully accepted by the winners.

Not everyone can win remember, and also there must be just that person or team that won't get a medal. With hard work, consistency, and a strong desire to win the medals, who knows the medals might find their way around their necks.

It is also interesting to know that the Tokyo Olympic Games was the first to start with the 5G viewing googles. These goggles give spectators a better and Hi-Tech view of the games, they tend to view the games with additional technological effects, the first innovation to appear at the Tokyo Olympics since the beginning of the Olympic games.

I would like to make mention of a general pleasant thing i noticed during the games. Every athlete who qualifies and wins medals expresses so much love when talking about how they feel about the games and their medals. The very one that caught my attention was a female athlete that talked about how she felt about her other mates, she says and i quote, "I wish i can just give my gold medal to my mates right there, It really feels so good to be here and to have won this medal".

This is indeed an Olympic to remember. and i must say it was perfect timing, a time when the world partially forgets about the havoc caused by the pandemic and focused on the games. We all need to unwind and be happy, the past year has really been a trying time for everyone and most nations of the world.

It is still doubted if we would be able to return to our normal lives, but then, we need to just enjoy the moment and make every moment and memory count. Together we are one. Together we will overcome and come out strong.
