Happy 55th Anniversary to the Olympic Games #Tokyo1964 🇯🇵 At 15:03pm, 10 October 1964, Yoshinori Sakai, a child born on the same day of the Hiroshima bombing, 19 years prior, entered the National Stadium as a symbol of hope, recovery and post-war reconciliation. 👏

The final torchbearer 🔥 out of 10,713, carried the Olympic flame up 163 steps to the Olympic cauldron and ushered in a new era for Japan and the Olympic Games. 🔙
