THE TOKYO 2020 Olympics kicked off on Friday at an eerily empty Olympic Stadium, after Covid-19 forced organisers to ban spectators at all but a handful of venues.

With the Games largely stripped down due to Covid-19, just 116 Irish athletes are participating this year.

The Olympics are generally watched around the world, with billions due to tune in at some stage.
