First Olympics with no audience

The beginning of the games followed a few setbacks, including different high-profile abdications. Quickly rising COVID-19 cases in Tokyo had additionally soured public sentiment. All spectators were prohibited from Olympic settings in Tokyo during the Games.

This included both abroad and homegrown ticket holders. Yet, it didn't keep individuals from partaking in the Games on TV or through online streaming.

All participants at the Games were required to wear a face mask at all times. Participants were also urged to minimize social interaction with others.
