2020 Tokyo Olympics emblem unveiled
Tokyo: Five years to the day before the opening ceremony, organisers unveiled the emblems of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games here.
Designed by Japanese artist Kenjiro Sato, the emblem is based on ‘T’, standing for Tokyo, tomorrow, and team. It symbolises the power of unity as the world comes together for the Games in 2020 to experience the joy of uniting, reports.
The black colour of the central column represents diversity. The shape of the circle represents an inclusive world. The red of the circle represents the power of beating heart.
The Paralympic emblem is inspired by the universal sign of equality.
The ceremony was attended by Tokyo organising committee president Yoshiro Mori, Tokyo governor Yoichi Masuzoe and International Olympic Committee (IOC) vice-president John Coates.
“The emblem reflects the vibrant nature of the city and the welcoming spirit of its citizens,” said Coates.
Tokyo was awarded the right to host the 2020 Olympics on September 7, 2013.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
