Q1. The connection between the Tokyo Olympic and the recovery from the earthquake

The answer will be: Holding the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 connects with communicating to the world about the recovery from the earthquake in 2011.
Through the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, many people can see not only the recovery directly but also the knowledge about the big disaster by looking the recovery from the earthquake in Japan. Although there are various kinds of the disaster in Japan because Japan is the country which has a lot of earthquake and the natural disaster, the Great East Earthquake in 2011 is one of the most well-known disasters in Japan.
From this big disaster, not only Japanese but also the people around the world can learn the disaster, and the Tokyo Olympic provide people around the world the prevention and the way to reduce the damage caused by the big earthquake.

Also, through the Olympic, Japan try to let children do more exercise and improve their physical fitness and promote to grow up children who will carry the disaster area in the future through the interaction with the foreigners through Olympics.

In addition, not only before and the time which has Tokyo Olympics, but also after the Olympics, Japan can try to prevent the people around the world from forgetting the big earthquake in Tohoku area and having the reputational risks.

I think that the two sources below is very trustworthy because both of the site are the official sites from the Tokyo Metropolitan or The Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Both of the sources have the clear evidence which agrees with holding the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 from many perspectives. Also, I thought that there are a lot of connection between the Tokyo Olympics and the recovery from the Great East Earthquake in 2011 than I had expected, such as: Tokyo Olympic helps children promote their physical fitness and so on. In addition, most of the information in the sources is so reliable and in detail. That's why I chose these two resources from the Internet.
