Tokyo, Aug 11: The Olympics symbol monument, consisting of five interlocking rings in blue, yellow, black, green and red colours, was taken down from the Tokyo Bay area on Wednesday after the completion of the Tokyo Olympics.
The giant floating rings monument set on a concrete platform at Odaiba Marine Park will be replaced by the ‘Three Agitos’ symbol, coloured red, blue, and green encircling a single point on a white field of the Tokyo Paralympics, scheduled to take place from August 24 to September 5. The Olympic monument, around 32.6 meters wide, 15.3 meters high and weighing 69 tons, was first unveiled in January 2020.
Lit up at night, the giant Olympics rings played a key role in creating momentum for the Tokyo Olympics, which started on July 23 and ended on August 8.
