Tokyo Olympics by numbers
11,000 ATHLETESAround 11,000 athletes have competed in the Tokyo Games at 42 venues around Japan including the northern island of Hokkaido which was chosen to host the final event, the marathon, because of its milder summer temperatures.
Athletes competed in 339 medal events, representing 205 national Olympic committees, with one team made up of refugees.
The Games were the most gender equal ever, with just under half of all athletes competing in women's events, according to the IOC.
SIX MONTHS TO GOFollowing Tokyo 2020, the 2022 Winter Olympics will be in Beijing from Feb 4 to 20, making it the first city to host both the Winter and Summer Games.
Paris will host the next Summer Games in three years, from July 27, 2024, with a pledge to fully align them with the Paris Climate Agreement by using only renewable energy and with a zero-waste policy.
