Bach, without whom the Games wouldn't have happened, added, "For the first time since the pandemic, the world came together. "The Olympic Games of Tokyo were the Olympic Games of hope, solidarity and peace. The theme of the closing ceremony was the 'Worlds We Share' and featured a whole lot of items, from lights to music shows, dazzling fireworks and stunts.
