The sports world is preparing to set its eyes on the great event of 2021, the 2020 Olympic Games that are held in Tokyo, one year after the original date.
The coronavirus pandemic not only forced the appointment to be postponed for a year, but it will also take place without an audience due to the appearance of an outbreak of cases in recent weeks.
For two weeks, the main referents of each discipline will meet in the Japanese capital, and Argentina will have a large delegation of 188 athletes who will fulfill the dream of competing for a medal.
As a consequence of the 12 hours difference with Japan, it will be an event to follow at dawn and with the agenda at hand.
The opening ceremony has already passed and on Thursday the 22nd the activity began with soccer and the debut of the Argentine National Team of Fernando Batista against Australia with a defeat by 2 to 0. Now the series begins.
Tonight it will be the turn of the judoka Paula Pareto (35), gold in Rio de Janeiro 2016 and bronze in Beijing 2008, who is going for her third great Olympic feat before moving away from the tatami beyond that the passage of time takes her away from the podium chances.
Another who can aspire to a medal is Lucas Guzmán (27), the taekwondo player who also competes this morning in the 58-kilo category.

There will also be a turn for the debut of the men's volleyball and handball teams.
And it will also be the starting point for the doubles tournament, where Diego Schwartzman will partner with Facundo Bagnis and Horacio Zeballos will be Andrés Molteni's partner.
The first to take to the "field" will be the marksman Fernanda Russo, who from 20:00 will contest the classification of the 10-meter air rifle.
Here, a detailed list, day by day, with the participation of each of the Argentine athletes, with the schedules of our country.
The phases following the first rounds of each sport are not included, of course, because they should be classified first.
