Japan and all stakeholders involved, in overcoming thechallenges of being the first Games ever to be postponed.
 Taking thorough measures to ensure safety and security, all
the sports were able to take place with the participation of the
205 National Olympic Committees, 161 National Paralympic
Committees, and all International Federations.
 The athletes inspired and encouraged the people of Tokyoand Japan, through their best performances after arduous
practice even under the extraordinary circumstances due tothe COVID-19 pandemic. These were moments that made us
again realise the power of sports.
 Through the Games, in addition to enhancing hard
infrastructure, including developing sports facilities andadvancing barrier-free improvements, many human legacies
are emerging, such as enhanced enthusiasm for participatingin sports, interest in Para sports, and the volunteer activities
that supported the Games.
 Similar to the constant commitment shown by the athletes toachieve their best performance, these legacies must becontinued in the future through persistent efforts.
 Now with a strong sense of the accomplishments of theGames, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has compiled“TOKYO Sports Legacy Vision” to show how theseaccomplishments will be leveraged in the promotion andestablishment of sports in the city.
 Maintaining its momentum, Tokyo will take every opportunity
to have the accomplishments of the Games lead to therealisation of Tokyo as a sports field.
