It’s official: Tokyo 2020 Olympics is finally happening! The much-anticipated sporting event, which is also referred to by fans as the Tokyo Olympics 2021, is scheduled to commence this 23 July to 8 August — almost exactly a year after its initial postponement due to the global pandemic. The event will retain its 2020 branding despite the current schedule and will see the participation of 205 countries vying to compete in a total of 50 Olympic games.
Still, not everything is back to normal just yet. It’s still unsure whether or not sporting fans would be allowed to cheer for their bets once the ceremony commences (the pandemic is still far from over after all). Thankfully, there’s another form of support coming in. Below are fashion, beauty, and lifestyle brands supporting the Tokyo Olympics 2021.

Sports fan or not, this is definitely a pick you wouldn’t want to miss having in your collection.
P&G
P&G’s relationship with the Olympics started when they first became a worldwide sponsor for the event in 2010. Their brands such as Pantene, Whisper, Olay, and many more took part in the Olympic marketing efforts and provided on-event support for athletes and staff. This year is no exception.
The company also launched their #LeadWithLove campaign, which showcases stories of athletes from all over the world, as well as videos featuring heartfelt scenarios that show the connections between people of diverse backgrounds. The goal is to show that the Olympics provide a great opportunity to show solidarity amid diversity especially given the challenges the world has experienced in the past year.
