Sommar-OS i Tokyo 2020

oktober 1, 2016 by oguide Leave a Comment

Nästa sommar-OS äger rum i Japan. Tokyo står värd för världens största idrottsturnering för andra gången. 1964 vann USA medaljligan med 36 guld. Sovjet kom tvåa med 30 guld. Kalla kriget var också i full gång, vilket inte minst märktes av medaljställningen. Nu är de olympiska spelen tillbaka i Japan. Landet agerar arrangör för OS för fjärde gången efter Tokyo 1964 och två vinter-OS i Sapporo 1972 och Nagano 1998.
