“#Let the Game<\/a>s Begin! What to Expect From the Delayed Tokyo Olympics on NBC<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

The waiting game is over: The 2020 Tokyo Olympics have finally arrived. Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, the 17-day premier international event experienced the most astonishing \u201cfalse start\u201d in modern sports history. But come July 23, some 11,000 general<\/a>ly relaxed and vaxxed athletes from more than 200 nations will begin to compete in 33 sports\u2014with a grateful world watching.<\/p>\n

As always, the United States team enters with high hopes. (At 46 golds and 121 total medals, the U.S. trounced all comers at the 2016 Rio Games.) And NBC plans to capture every leg of competition, from aquatics to wrestling, in record-breaking fashion, with over 7,000 hours of coverage across multiple networks and platforms, along with 5,500 hours of streaming.<\/p>\n

Health protocols will keep athletes\u2019 family members from flying to Japan, but the network\u2019s \u201cFamily and Friends\u201d production unit will capture loved ones\u2019 reactions and allow them to communicate with competitors on camera. Granted, there\u2019s no masking the fact that these Olympics will be different, but in the hearts and minds of entrants, golden goals remain.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a way, these Games may be even more energizing,\u201d says Mike Tirico, who will be working his second Olympics as host of NBC\u2019s primetime coverage. \u201cI saw a lot of emotion from athletes competing at the trials. I think that\u2019s an example of what we\u2019ll be seeing in Tokyo. Let\u2019s just remind ourselves, the Olympic movement is usually four years of work that pays off in something like 30 seconds, a minute, maybe two minutes. Now it\u2019s an extra year.\u201d<\/p>\n

That gap reset teams around the globe, as some older athletes moved past their prime and a few younger ones sped into theirs. \u201cIt\u2019s hard enough to have to peak in a normal cycle,\u201d admits five-time Olympic gymnastics medalist turned commentator Nastia Liukin. \u201cWould the athletes have liked this to be different? Of course, but at least they can compete now, and dreams can come true.\u201d<\/p>\n

NBC is set to celebrate all the contenders in these pages, and the many more wearing their own nation\u2019s colors. For his part, Tirico\u2014who\u2019ll man an outdoor set in Tokyo\u2014looks forward to interviews with the victors, even if they\u2019re virtual. \u201cNothing will keep us from sharing the emotions of the Games.\u201d<\/p>\n
