On top of it you have pageantry: the opening and closing ceremonies can be as compelling as the games themselves.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1964 LIFE staff photographer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.life.com\/photographer\/arthur-rickerby\/\">Art Rickerby<\/a> went to Tokyo to capture the 1964 Summer games in all their glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1964_Summer_Olympics\">Tokyo Olympics made history<\/a> because it was the first the time the event was staged in Asia. That was also the first time the Olympics were broadcast via satellite\u2014before that, improbable as it sounds, video tapes had to be flown across oceans before the competition could be seen by overseas viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the perspective of LIFE managing editor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1991\/07\/10\/obituaries\/george-p-hunt-72-a-top-time-inc-editor.html\">George P. Hunt<\/a>, who covered many Olympics, the Tokyo event also stood out for the control exerted by Japanese officials. &#8220;The Games were precise, stiff and formal,&#8221; Hunter <a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.com\/books?id=FUkEAAAAMBAJ&amp;pg=PA3&amp;dq=tokyo+olympics&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjwoYK2jqeHAxUkFVkFHfYQAigQ6AF6BAgEEAI#v=onepage&amp;q=tokyo%20olympics&amp;f=false\">wrote, looking back in 1968<\/a>. &#8220;The Japanese have a penchant for over-organization. The government even put a lid on the hot spots in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gotokyo.org\/en\/destinations\/central-tokyo\/ginza\/index.html\">Ginza<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That management style which seemed novel to Hunter has become the standard, no matter where the Olympics are held. Host cities spend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visualcapitalist.com\/how-much-does-it-cost-to-host-the-olympics\/\">many billions <\/a>to stage the games, and media companies invest heavily to broadcast them. They prepare with the same intensity as the athletes, and they do what they can to make sure all goes as hoped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the 1964 event, as always, made for not just plenty of athletic drama but some pretty pictures as well. <\/p>\n\n\n<blockquote id=\"single-block_6112a08dee720\" class=\"single-image alignfull\">\n    <section>\n                        <img decoding=\"async\"
