As the Tokyo Olympics come to an end this Sunday, a year late because of the COVID-19 pandemic, some athletes and their nations are celebrating their Olympic medals.
While others will be looking at where they can improve in three year's time in Paris.

And do the Games still have the same impact, for the medal-winning nations and the hosts ?

Presenter: Hazem Sika
