What the Tokyo Olympics could have been

After watching the Tokyo Olympics closing ceremony, I got it in my head to revisit all the previous closing ceremonies. In the process, I was reminded that at the Rio 2016 closing ceremony, there was a pretty extended segment of the next host city's performance (as is tradition). It was a preview of what the Tokyo 2020 ceremony could have been. And it was awesome.

Tokyo 2020 under delivered so hard. It should have been a crazy amazing light show, a mix of tradition and modernity, but instead we got...what we got.

If Tokyo was going to go ahead with the games in the middle of a pandemic, then they should've just gone all out and give the audience something to take their minds off of the shit storm raging outside for two weeks.
