Wow!

I thought the japanese population is against the Olympics???

It's the magic of perspective in photography, Monty.

Here's a non-Kyodo photo of the torch relay in Miyagi earlier this week. Can you see how all the buses, coaches and trucks look very big, and how the runner looks tiny and very far away? Can you see that?

Once in a lifetime for elderly to enjoy the Olympic moment but at huge risk. I think they would rather want to enjoy themselves than to save the young people.

Wonderful scene! Only 4 weeks to go until Tokyo Olympic. It's a fever!

They look suspiciously like people that actually want to enjoy the Olympics, and from what I read in the comments section here in JT, I know that is impossible.
