The debut film for the campaign features past, present and future Olympians, including Usain Bolt, Naomi Osaka, Andre Degrasse, Yusra Mardini and Nyjah Houston. Tony Hawk is also present, representing the skateboarding community as the sport enters into its first-ever Olympic Games.

“The Stronger Together campaign represents the strength of the human experience, reminding people around the world what we can accomplish when we’re united,” says IOC Digital Engagement and Marketing Director Christopher Carroll. “The Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 will celebrate the spirit of the athletes of the world who have shown incredible resilience in their journey to Tokyo 2020.”
