Dhaka, Jan. 18 -- The Olympic rings have arrived in Tokyo. They sailed into Tokyo Bay on Friday on a barge and will stay there until the Olympics open on July 24 and close on Aug. 9. The blue, black, red, yellow, and green rings will be replaced after that by the symbol for the Paralympics Games, which open on Aug. 25. The symbol for the Paralympics is called "agitos,"which resembles three brush strokes in red, blue, and green. The word in Latin means "I move." The five Olympic rings are gigantic. They stand 15.3 meters high - about 50 feet tall - and are 32.6 meters from end to end - about 100 feet in length.
