“The Tokyo Olympic Games were a success with regard to the athletes, the worldwide audience and the Olympic values, as demonstrated in the research,” said IOC President Thomas Bach. “As the most watched Olympic Games ever on digital platforms, they have really become the first streaming Games.”
Indeed, more content was made available through television, digital streaming, websites, apps and social media during the Tokyo Games than any other in history. The amount of television coverage available was up 33 percent from 2016, while digital output was up slightly higher at 34 percent.
