Something special happens every four years (or five).
After the coronavirus pandemic struck the 2020 Olympics from the calender, Tokyo is hosting the 2021 Olympics, with the opening ceremony on today. It's been a long and winding road: Tokyo recently declared another state of emergency which will run through Aug. 12, meaning no fans will be in the stands to catch the Olympic games.
Even if fans won't be able to take in the pageantry and general epicness of the opening ceremony, it's still a marquee event for the 2021 Olympic games and viewers at home will be able to take in all four, glorious hours of it on Friday morning (or Friday night).
Here's how you can catch the opening ceremony:
