The lighting of the Olympic Cauldron is a sight that always brings goosies and tears to my eyes. My all-time fave is the lighting of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics cauldron which, until now, leaves me in awe whenever I watch it.
This year's 2020 Tokyo Olympics is no different. Especially since the one lighting the cauldron is Naomi Osaka.
The cauldron itself is so Japanese. Aside from it being a tribute to Mount Fuji, the sphere that opens and transforms is a testament to Japanese technology and how artistic they are. It felt like an origami sculpture unfolding before our eyes.
I have so, SO much admiration for Tokyo for foraging through this pandemic to ensure that the Olympics are held safely and continue the tradition of community and sportsmanship. As many new outfits reported it, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics is a beacon of hope that the world can and will go back to normal.
Now, let the games begin!
