#Tokyo Olympics 2020

With Hidilyn Diaz taking home Gold in the Tokyo Olympics 2020 for women's weightlifting (55kg), the Philippines has seen its first taste of Gold since its participation in the Olympics. A huge aspect that might not be noticeable at first glance; Tokyo 2020 Olympic medals were actually made out of upcycled electronic devices. Japan’s nationwide campaign for sustainability As part of Japan’s initiative to combine the 2020 Olympics with their efforts to encourage sustainability, the Japanese government launched a nationwide campaign to collect old and obsolete electronics. "The campaign called on the public to donate obsolete electronic devices for the project," Tokyo 2020 spokesperson Hitomi Kamizawa told DW. It saw the potential that these wasted devices held and ensured a way they could be collected, recycled, and eventually make their way to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. So, the hopes of the Tokyo 2020 Medal Project possibly transmuting the standard of the Olympic medals are pretty high. Following her historic win at the Tokyo Olympics 2020, Hidilyn Diaz was recognized as the most searched athlete on Facebook. In line with this, Alibaba has unveiled the first-ever cloud-enabled digital pin— the Alibaba Cloud Pin— specially made for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.
