Tokyo 2020 Olympics torch relay unveiling ceremony - In Pics
UPDATED : Jul 10 2021, 14:06 IST
The Olympic flame arrived in Tokyo on July 09 but the public kept away at a low-key welcoming ceremony because of coronavirus fears, the day after a "heartbreaking" announcement that spectators would be banned from most Games events. On a rainy morning exactly two weeks before the opening ceremony of the biggest sporting event since the pandemic began, the flame was brought on stage in a lantern and handed to Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike.
