Actually, it was a great success under the circumstance. Obviously it would be much better without Covid-19 problems. However, superspreading, feared by some, never happened.
Staging an Olympics during the worst pandemic in a century? There’s a widespread perception that it couldn’t happen in a better place than Japan....Japan is one of the few places in the world that could even consider pulling off the high-stakes tightrope walk that the Tokyo Games represent. (AP)
And Japan indeed successfully pulled it off. That's the legacy of the Tokyo Olympics 2021.
In addition, Japanese athletes did so well with 27 gold medals, the third after US and China.
Before Olympics Games (Jan 2021): 27% supported the Olympics
After Olympics Games (Aug 9): 64% supported the Olympics

The answer came: No.
A very good news for Tokyo.
