The Tokyo Olympics have begun. How does the world see the Olympic Games in Corona? I will listen to it by connecting the relay with 3 places. First of all, I would like to ask Mitsuhiro Kanashi of Paris, France, who will hold the Olympic Games in 2024, three years later. (Q. The Tokyo Olympics have begun, but what do the citizens of Paris see?) Public viewing of the Tokyo Olympics is taking place in the square in front of the Eiffel Tower. When I asked the person who was watching the opening ceremony, he seemed to be surprised, “Are you really doing it without an audience?” Food and beverages, including alcohol, are served at this venue. Everyone is enjoying themselves without any anxiety. This is because you need a vaccination certificate or a negative certificate, a so-called “vaccine passport”, to enter this venue. When asked to the visitors, “What is the difference between France and Japan, which has become unattended?”, “It’s probably the difference in vaccination rates.” “For Japan, where vaccines are not so widespread, many people come from overseas. “I think it was just a horror.” “I think I had no choice but to have no audience.” “Next, I ask Mr. Toru Nakamaru of the United States. (Q. How is it reported in the United States after the opening ceremony has begun?) The newspaper says, “The Olympic Games in Corona will begin.” It is inevitable that “Corona” will be added as a makurakotoba this time, but looking down, it says, “Only the joy of athletes can save this Olympics.” As for the excitement of the United States, there is growing interest in the activities and competitions of athletes. In the United States, where vaccines have become widespread and people have returned to their normal lives, the number of new infections is increasing due to the Delta strain. In the midst of such debate about whether to impose a duty to wear a mask or to continue this life in coexistence with Corona, what is expected of the Olympics is the success of athletes as a fun topic. I think this is the general perception of the Olympics. (Q. How do you perceive the holding of an almost unattended audience?) There are some questions about the unusual situation, “Is it really exciting?” On the other hand, I’ve been struggling to hold an event in Corona, so I think it’s understood that Japan has a Japanese way of doing things, rather than criticizing it. However, regarding a series of scandals involving the Organizing Committee, he said, “Japan was supposed to be hospitality and appeal for quality life at the Olympics, but it advertised the old feeling of uncle’s constitution to the world.” There were also severe criticisms. I would like to ask Mr. Morio Chichiiwa in Beijing, China. (Q. In Beijing, the Winter Olympics are coming up six months later. How is the opening of the Tokyo Olympics reported?) According to Chinese newspapers, there is no Olympics on the front page. It’s very small. The reason is that the number of victims of heavy rain damage in Henan Province is increasing, and it is in the form of being flooded with the Olympic mood. Second, it is not the Tokyo Olympics that are important to the Chinese government, but the Beijing Olympics in the winter, which is less than 200 days old. For the Chinese government, it also depends on the ment, so I think it’s a feeling of air that the head is there. (Q. In Japan, how do you see the fact that most of the venues were held without spectators?) To refer to the Beijing Olympics, the good points and bad points of the Tokyo Olympics’ corona measures are shown in China. Also pays close attention. Now, I’m trying to check the infection control of the Tokyo Olympics and the reaction from overseas and use it as a reference. Tokyo is unattended, but Beijing’s opening ceremony is probably full. At the Chinese Communist Party 100th Anniversary Ceremony held on the 1st, 70,000 people gathered and did not wear masks. This is on purpose. I wear a mask when I come and go, but when I entered the venue, I was surprised when I was asked to take a mask. I feel like I want to appeal to China without masks. I think that such a scene will probably spread even at the Beijing Olympics six months later. However, the difficulty is that people coming from overseas to Beijing are waiting for 21 days of strict quarantine. Therefore, although it is full, if you look closely, you may find that everyone is from China.
