Tokyo 2020 (2021) Summer Olympic Games

 It was Friday morning when hubby and I watched the Opening Ceremony of the TOKYO 2020 SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES. Tokyo 2020 in all the streamlines and banners but the events unfold this year July 2021. 

July 23, 2021 - August 8, 2021. 

I did not see the very initial opening of the ceremony. I happened to watch on our TV screen, the parade of athletes, the parade of Nation (the countries the athletes represent for the Olympic games). Of course the OLYMPIC GAMES aim is simply the traditional purpose of PARTICIPATION. Winning the Olympic Medals is a plus and rewards of achievements and accomplishments for hard work and the great effort each team, each athlete who devoted their valuable time to train themselves despite of all the hindrances, the hurdles and difficulties. What made this Olympic Game different from the rest of the games? The pandemic that crippled the economy, the political and livelihood of billions of people around the world has cancelled this world's traditional relay of the OLYMPIC GAMES,  for many centuries since it had its beginning in ancient Greece. However, OLYMPIC GAMES is about its original, traditional theme of being FASTER, HIGHER, STRONGER but who is WISER? Yeah, who is wiser and witty in this game? The participants of the game or those athletes who wont participate because COVID-19 is stronger?

Everybody has a mind of his or her own. It is for the athlete's wise reasoning whether they play or not play for the Olympic Game. 

I am not a game player for the Olympic Games. I am just a "watcher." Television is our medium of what's happening. What TV Stations and their anchors plus their camera men are our "watchful eyes and keen observant of the main event."

I'm glad that Philippines has representatives for the Olympic Games for Tokyo 2021.

FASTER, HIGHER, STRONGER

TOGETHER

I hope in the next Olympic Games they have to include WISER.

The behind the scenes "push button technicians."  Lighting the whole industrialized, civilized  urban district of Tokyo.

The Kabuki traditional Japanese drama/dance/singing was not shown as the camera was focused mainly on the female pianist.

As she lightened and ignited the flame for the Olympic Cauldron of Fire.

As of this writing, July 24, 2021: Several Olympic athletes had received gold medals such as China, Italy, Japan, South Korea, etc. 

Hey, before I forget, IMAGINE, the song written and sung by the late John Lennon has been a part of the Opening ceremony with different famous artists singing the song from other countries  that include Keith Urban, John Legend, etc. Yep, it's Japan's Olympic Games and they include foreign artists to be included in their Olympic Games representation.

Why? It has something to do with the word SOLIDARITY.

This Is My Question Period.

 

 Strange! Bewitched and bewildered? I myself was shocked at the turn of events during the announcement, Patrick Chan won the second place in Olympic Figure Skating in Sochi.
After all the hard work and discipline he put himself while on training to be the best.

Anyway, Patrick won a silver. Silver  is SILVER. It is an Ag.

It is the silver backing of a mirror.

Mirror, mirror on the wall.

 

Rumors upon rumors and TV reporters broadcasting of something unfair, whatever dunno which one to believe.

I could only think of it that the short program that's been judged not the long program. I could be wrong.

It could be the flag. The flag and it's symbol. The manner, style and technical difficulties of their skate. are the basis of judgment.

A figure skater should have the style so unique to that skater to be remembered for such a very long time even for history and the world to be reviewed in the next Olympic Games. The Olympic athletes are the modern soldiers of today. You want to go to war then there's bloodshed and nobody wins. At least this Game is sacred and whatever secrets involved do we have the right to know? Oh shoot! Somebody shoot me. My God! I can't believe that Stanley- milgram is acting up in this computer. I should remain the blonde girl who knows nothing.

Patrick Chan's unique style of skating is that of an eagle flying endlessly. While >>>> Elvis > Remember Elvis Stojko? His style is that of a martial arts Bruce Lee style of a skate which gave him the silver during the Olympic Games in Nagano when he should be the one to receive the gold medal for his perfect skate. The first skater to land several quads. There are skaters mostly professionals who can do the sommersault.  Emmanuel Sandhu is best remembered for his spin and splitting his leg that it's almost impossible for him to do other stunts. But he is known for such style, no one skates like him until the young skater name Michael from Philippines manage to do similar spin. While Yuzure Hanyu, the Yu, the gold medallist from Japan is flawless in his short program and swift enough in his rock and roll rendition...I think a figure skater should be known for its fast flowing jumps, spin and landing when the music accompanying the skate dance is also fast. The audience, the television viewers get in to your rhythm, to the mood and mode if the beat is fast and IF they know the music. However it's up to the judges to give the score not from us. I had seen the skater Denis Ten from Kazakhstan before in world competition on TV and he is quite good. Maybe he is good that's why he is in the Olympic Games winning bronze. Think that he is not Denis the menace. lol

But there is nobody like Elvis Stojko. Why he didn't receive the Olympic gold medal is the one mystery that you have to ask the judges.

I wish to suggest that they should wear new outfit on Olympic Games. They should not wear outfit they wore during the World Championship. Olympic Games is a prestigious competition and it's only every 4 years you got to see it. Once every 4 years a great competition being held that history dated it back from the time of Jesus Christ. So you know how important that event is.

The Prime Minister of Canada is in Mexico for a Tres Amigos version. Know what? Vicente Fox is no longer the President. He was replaced by Enrique Penia Nieto who is a spitting image of Rob Lowe, the actor. What the PM of Canada doing in Mexico? (((Down in Mexico it's sunny days are warm and sweet as honey))) According to the news he wants to have visa trade deals to make travel easier and faster. Uhm...really? Aahahhahaha! J/K

Not long ago the Tres Amigos are played by those three comedians of Hollywood. Followed by the trio: Pres. George Bush, Pres. Vicente Fox and PM Harper.
