Tokyo 2020 Paralympic games started.
Japan’s emperor declared the games open in a nearly empty stadium on Tuesday, with athletes ready to defy stereotypes and shatter records despite a year-long pandemic delay.
Emperor Naruhito made the announcement surrounded by banks of vacant multicoloured seats at Tokyo’s 68,000-capacity Olympic Stadium, with virus rules banning spectators from almost all Games events.
“I declare open the 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Games,” he said, wearing a white surgical mask.
