As athletes and fans across the nation prepare themselves for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games and tomorrow’s Opening Ceremony, Amazon’s Alexa has been learning facts to give customers quick and easy access to Great Britain and Ireland’s latest news and successes throughout July and August.
