Last month, speaking from the Olympic Village during his visit to Tokyo, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Thomas Bach had promised the athletes an unforgettable experience.
"You will never ever forget these moments in the Olympic Village in all your life. And with the conditions our Japanese friends are offering here, the experience will be even more fantastic," Bach had said in a video message addressing the global athletes' community.
"This is the place to be nine months from now. I am very happy to be able to greet you here from the Olympic Village in Tokyo," he had added.
