Lessons from Tokyo 2020 and what comes next for the Olympic movement

As the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games draws to a close, SportsPro editor at large Eoin Connolly is joined by Angela Ruggiero, a former Olympic ice hockey champion and IOC member who is now the co-founder and chief executive of Sports Innovation Lab, and T Burns Sports founder Terrence Burns, an experienced advisor to brands, bids and federations.

They share some of their reflections on how the event has unfolded and what might have been learned about the future of the Olympic movement. That discussion includes the changing role and influence of athletes, how brand partners can carry the Olympic story and where they could draw new lines on social or political issues, and what the Games can offer future hosts.
