After a one-year delay, the Tokyo Olympics officially began Friday.The Games began with the opening ceremony, which looked different than usual because of COVID-19 restrictions.Fewer than 1,000 people were permitted to attend the ceremony, which included the traditional flame lighting, parade of competitors and musical performances.The opening also included fireworks in blue and white, the colors of the official Tokyo 2020 emblem.Olympic organizers sent the traditional message of peace as music stars sang John Lennon and Yoko Ono's famous song Imagine.As the song played, more than 1,800 drones formed the shape of the Olympic sign in the sky before changing into the shape of the world.Japanese Emperor Naruhito and International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach -- both wearing face masks -- cheered on the competitors.
