This has been an exciting Olympics despite all the dumps due the Covid - 19 pandemic, the extreme Tokyo heat and the lack of any spectators.
Despite all the odds, many nations have excelled such as Japan being the third best ever in medal counts and the Italians in winning Golds in several track and field athletics.
The most disappointing were African nations, especially Ethiopia. For some reason, the African nations have so far did worse than ever before. One issue African nations such as Ethiopia, Eritrea, Uganda and Kenya faced were that many of their former citizens are computing against them in the track and field athletics which the African nations, traditionally, had the competitive advantage as the newly minted "citizens" run for other nations.
Will today's last game, the men's marathon, save Ethiopia, Eritrea, Kenya and Uganda from utter humiliation in Tokyo 2020? Lets hope so.
