(12 Feb 2019) The Tokyo Metropolitan Government held an Olympics venue media tour on Tuesday ahead of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo in 2020.
With over 500 days left until the games in the Japanese capital, the new arenas and facilities are still under construction.
Yojiro Muraoka, venue director for the Sea Forest Waterway for canoe sprint and rowing, highlighted the significance of its feature to be able to close at both ends to maintain ocean water levels.
Tomohiro Terasawa, venue director for the Ariake Arena for volleyball, said work was ongoing to complete it in time for a pre-games test event and described how the site will be used after Tokyo 2020.
The Tokyo government is also building four other facilities – the Kasai Canoe Slalom Centre for canoe, Ariake Gymnastics Centre for gymnastics, Tokyo Aquatics Centre for swimming, and the Olympic and Paralympic Village where athletes will reside during the games.
