UK PM wishes Team GB 'best of luck' for Olympic Games

Prime Minister Boris Johnson wished British athletes “the very best of luck” for the Tokyo Olympic Games in a video message uploaded to social media on Friday (July 23).
“Nothing unites the United Kingdom quite like this quadrennial extravaganza of sporting excellence,” he said in the clip posted on the Downing Street Twitter page.
The Tokyo Olympic Games kicked off on Friday with an opening ceremony featuring athletes parading into the stadium by national groups, waving but with smiles hidden behind masks.
Fireworks illuminated an almost empty National Stadium, and a moment of silence was held to honor those lost to COVID-19.
Postponed for a year, organizers were forced to take the unprecedented step of holding the Olympics without fans as the novel coronavirus is on the rise again, taking lives around the world.
