The Tokyo Olympics is less than two weeks away. Though no one spectators can attend the events in the venues this time, many of the world's top athletes will still compete with each other in the Japanese capital.

For example, Simone Biles of the U.S., will continue her gymnastic gold-reaping journey in Tokyo.

The Chinese table tennis team is looking to extend its dominance as well.

Trayvon Bromell of the U.S. is on Usain Bolt's must-watch list for the men's 100-meter sprinting event.

And the Chinese women's volleyball team wants nothing but to defend its throne.
