Fans are not permitted into most places where Olympic events are taking place in Tokyo.But the Games are still going on.Many sports fans have been waiting a long time for the Olympics to return to Japan. What are they to do?It turns out that Japanese fans are getting creative.Recently, one cycling fan climbed a high road to run next to Richard Carapaz of Ecuador during the men's road race.Carapaz said he did not mind seeing the fan, who was wearing very little clothing, run with him up the hill.Carapaz smiled at the fan and later won the gold medal."It gave us a sensation of somehow coming back to normality, seeing the fans there," Carapaz said later. "I loved it."Fans are restricted from entering stadiums and other places where the athletes are competing.Police and volunteers are looking out for people who do not have permission to be there.Athletes, coaches and reporters are wearing face coverings when they are near other people.
