The 1964 Summer Olympics were held in Tokyo, Japan, the first Games held in Asia, and were widely seen as a symbol of Japan's postwar recovery, coinciding with the launch of the Shinkansen high-speed rail line shortly before the opening ceremony. The Games introduced satellite television broadcasting, allowing live images to reach audiences overseas for the first time, and judo, a Japanese martial art, made its Olympic debut. South Africa was excluded from these Games over its apartheid policies, beginning decades of Olympic isolation for the country.
