Tokyo 1964: The Games of the XVIII Olympiad

The Olympic summer games of 1964 were held in Tokyo from 10 to 24 Oc-tober in that year and were in many aspects remarkable.

They  took  place  against  the  fascinating,  yet  geopolitically  turbulent  background of the sixties of the previous century and were the first summer  games  to  be  held  in  an  Asian  country.    Ever    since    superlatives    have  not  been  spared  to  describe  how  these  games  symbolized  the  re-emergence of Japan on the world stage,  less  than  two  decades  after  its defeat  in  WW  II.  However  one  should not forget that these summer games were in the first place a great sports event with outstanding sportive achievements, the first ever to be broadcasted via satellite.
