Abstract
This summer's Olympic Games in Tokyo (2021) have taken on the challenges presented by Covid to accelerate broadcast technology. Japanese broadcaster NHK will broadcast seven Olympic sports in 8K in addition to both the opening and closing ceremonies, which will see NHK capture live 8K footage from a helicopter for the first time. The worldwide pandemic also means that there will be no international visitors in Tokyo, but Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) will build on virtual-reality (VR) technology introduced in Rio in 2016 and PyeongChang's 2018 Winter Olympics to make TV viewers feel a part of the Games from the comfort of their own homes.
