People gather around the National Stadium to watch the firework display launched during the closing ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics in Tokyo, Japan, Sunday, August 8, 2021. When the Tokyo Olympics began during a worsening pandemic, the majority of the host nation was in opposition, with Emperor Naruhito dropping the word “celebrating” from his opening declaration of welcome. But once the Games got underway and local media switched to covering Japanese athletes' “medal rush”, many were won over. (Photo by Kyodo News via AP Photo)
