The COVID-19 pandemic has led to significant changes in the Olympic flame lighting ceremony for Tokyo 2020, traditionally held at the Temple of Hera in Olympia, Greece. This year, the ceremony will occur without an audience, impacting its symbolism and celebration. COVID-19 has affected 89 people in Greece, prompting Tokyo 2020 to minimize the Japanese delegation's size. Local governments are collaborating to prevent virus spread, leading to the cancellation of related events. The last audience-free ceremony was in 1984, due to protests against the commercialization of the Los Angeles Olympics.
