TOKYO (KVOA) - The 2020 Tokyo Olympic games are making history.
This is the first time the games have been postponed due to a pandemic, and it is also the first time for there not to be spectators, although billions are watching from home.
We are now in the second century of the modern Olympic games, beginning in 1896.
But the ancient Olympics began in 776 B.C. and were held in Olympia, Greece.
Although, there might not have been spectators, there are more athletes than ever attending the games with over 11 thousand athletes competing in more than 300 different events.
