2020 Summer Olympics 1 2020 Summer Olympics 2020 Summer Olympics 1 2020 Summer Olympics Games of the XXXII Olympiad Tokyo Candidate City Logo Host city Tokyo, Japan Motto 'Discover Tomorrow' The 2020 Summer Olympics (2020年 夏 季 オ リ ン ピ ッ ク), officially known as the Games of the XXXII Olympiad (XXXII オ リ ン ピ ッ ク 競 技 大 会 XXXII Orinpikku Kyōgi Taikai), is a planned major international sports event that is scheduled to be held from 24 July – 9 August 2020 in Tokyo, Japan. Tokyo was announced as the host city at the 125th IOC Session in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on 7 September 2013. Tokyo was also the location of the 1964 Summer Olympics, therefore becoming the first Asian city to host the Olympic Games twice. Bidding Tokyo, Istanbul and Madrid were official candidate cities. Applications from Baku and Doha were received but not promoted to candidate status. A bid from Rome was withdrawn. Vote The IOC voted to select the host city of the 2020 Summer Olympics on 7 September 2013 at the 125th IOC Session at the Buenos Aires Hilton in Buenos Aires, Argentina. An exhaustive ballot system was used. No city won over 50% of the votes in the first round, and Madrid and Istanbul were tied for second place. A run-off vote between these two cities was held to determine which would be eliminated. In the final vote, a head-to-head contest between Tokyo and Istanbul, Tokyo was selected by 60 votes to 36. 2020 Summer Olympics 2 2020 Summer Olympics Host City Election City NOC Name Round 1 Runoff Round 2 Tokyo Japan 42 — 60 Istanbul Turkey 26 49 36 Madrid Spain 26 45 — Development and preparation The Tokyo metropolitan government set aside a fund of 400 billion yen to cover the cost of hosting the Games. The Japanese government is considering increasing slot capacity at both Haneda Airport and Narita Airport by easing airspace restrictions. A new railway line is planned to link both airports through an expansion of Tokyo Station, cutting travel time from Tokyo Station to Haneda from 30 minutes to 18 minutes, and from Tokyo Station to Narita from 55 minutes to 36 minutes; the line would cost 400 billion yen and would be funded primarily by private investors. Funding is also planned to accelerate completion of the Central Circular Route, Tokyo Gaikan Expressway and Ken-Ō Expressway, and to refurbish other major expressways in the area. There are also plans to extend the Yurikamome automated transit line from its existing terminal at Toyosu Station to a new terminal at Kachidoki Station, passing the site of the Olympic Village, although the Yurikamome would still not have adequate capacity to serve major events in the Odaiba area on its own. It has been confirmed that Hakubun Shimomura will oversee the preparations for the 2020 Olympic Games.[1] Sports Following the 2012 Games, the IOC assessed the 26 sports held in London, with the remit of selecting 25 'core' sports to join new entrants golf and rugby sevens at the 2020 Games. In effect, this would involve the dropping of one sport from the 2016 Games program. This would leave a single vacancy in the 2020 Games program, which the IOC would seek to fill from a shortlist containing seven unrepresented sports and the removed sport. Events such as modern pentathlon, taekwondo and badminton were among those considered vulnerable. On 12 February 2013, IOC leaders voted to drop wrestling from the Olympic program, a surprise decision that removed one of the oldest Olympic sports from the 2020 Games. Wrestling, which combines freestyle and Greco-Roman events, goes back to the inaugural modern Olympics in Athens in 1896, and even further to the Ancient Olympics. The decision to drop wrestling was opposed in many countries and by their NOCs.[2] Wrestling therefore joined seven other sports in a list of eight applying for inclusion in the 2020 Games. On 29 May 2013, it was announced that three sports remained in contention: squash, baseball/softball, and wrestling.[3] Five other sports (karate, roller sports, sport climbing, wakeboarding, and wushu) were excluded from consideration at this point. On 8 September at the 125th IOC Session, the IOC selected wrestling to be included in the Olympic program for 2020 and 2024. Wrestling secured 49 votes, while baseball/softball secured 24 votes and squash got 22 votes. 2020 Summer Olympics 3 Calendar All dates are JST (UTC+9) This calendar is adapted from the candidature file.

In November 2012 the Japan Sport Council announced that out of 46 finalists, Zaha Hadid Architects was awarded the design for the new stadium. Plans include dismantling the original stadium, and expanding the capacity from 50,000 to a modern Olympic capacity of about 80,000.[5] The Tokyo Big Sight exhibition center would be The possibility of renovating the National Olympic Stadium had been used as the International Broadcast Center previously discussed. Following a renovation, the venue would host the opening and closing ceremonies as well as track and field events. Renovating the stadium would reduce costs of organizing the games in the event that Tokyo wins their bid. In their 2016 bid, Tokyo proposed building a new Olympic Stadium on the Tokyo Bay waterfront near the Olympic Village, which would have cost $1.3 billion.[6] 28 of the 33 competition venues in Tokyo are within 8 kilometres (5 miles) of the Olympic Village. 11 new venues are to be constructed. Heritage Zone View of the Rainbow Bridge from Odaiba Marine Seven venues will be located within the central business area of Tokyo, Park northwest of the Olympic Village.

  • Rescinding a Bid: Stockholm's Uncertain Relationship with The
    Rescinding a bid: Stockholm’s uncertain relationship with the Olympic Games Erik Johan Olson Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In Geography Robert D. Oliver Luke Juran Korine N. Kolivras February 16, 2018 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: sport mega-events, urban development, Olympic bidding, Agenda 2020, bid failure, urban politics, bid strategy Copyright 2018 Rescinding a bid: Stockholm’s uncertain relationship with the Olympic Games Erik Olson ABSTRACT The City of Stockholm has undergone a curious process of considering whether to launch a bid for the 2026 Winter Olympic Games. That Stockholm has contemplated launching a bid is not surprising from a regional perspective—the Olympic Games have not been held in a Scandinavian country since Lillehammer, Norway played host in 1994 and Sweden has never hosted the Winter Olympics. A potential bid from Stockholm would also be consistent with Sweden’s self-identification and embracement of being a ‘sportive nation’. Failed applications by the Swedish cities of Gothenburg, Falun, and Östersund to host the Winter Olympic Games confirm the long-standing interest of the Swedish Olympic Committee to secure the Games, although it should be noted that the Swedish Olympic Committee did not submit a bid for the 2006, 2010, 2014 or 2018 Winter Olympic Games competitions. Although recent reports indicate that Stockholm will not vie for the 2026 Winter Olympic Games, the notion that the city was even considering the option remains surprising. Stockholm had withdrawn its bid from the 2022 bidding competition citing a variety of concerns including a lack of government and public support, financial uncertainty, as well as the post-event viability of purpose-built infrastructure.

  • Star Architects, Urban Spectacles and Global Brands
    Star Architects, Urban Spectacles and Global Brands: Exploring the Case of the Tokyo Olympics 2020 Abstract Olympic stadia are often regarded as a political showcase involving a range of influences: the host nation’s international politics, the interests of transnational capitalism along with site-specific meanings and the power of iconic architecture. By examining the 2020 Tokyo Olympic main stadium as a case study, the paper analyzes the controversial Zaha Hadid’ stadium plan in relation to the Japanese nation branding initiative. In doing so, the paper argues that ‘branding’ should be seen as part of an economic and cultural system which seems to enhance the global value of iconic architects and their buildings. Yet, the power of brands can be understood as a contingent entity. This is because its ambivalenct nature entails a tension between exclusiveness and banality; additionally, it could be difficult for branded architects to work across the different regimes of global and local politics; and they are of course also constrained by the logic of neoliberal transnational capitalism. By investigating a major global branded architect, Zaha Hadid and her architecture plan, the paper considers why a new image of Japan could not be adequately created by Hadid’s aesthetics and narratives of the Olympic stadium which should be regarded as a national cultural legacy. The paper then discusses the contested processes of image-making and narrative creation in relation to the representation of Japan in contemporary Olympic culture. The paper concludes with an examination of Kengo Kuma’s architecture language in his 2020 Tokyo Olympics stadium design.

    Asian VC Network Forum 2010 Challenges Ahead and Role of Venture Finance for Accelerating Innovations Today, Asia is perceived as a region that holds a critical key to maintaining sustainable development of the global economy, thus faces heightened expectations to become a new “Innovation Center”. In promoting venture companies – primary drivers of innovation activities – to develop their businesses across the Asian region, venture capital (VC) rms with global perspectives play a critical role, by providing a wide breadth of assistances venture companies need; from supplying risk money to mentoring over corporate management issues. Based upon such recognition of Asia’s role, an international forum titled “Asian VC Network” will be held in Tokyo, with a view to promoting cross-border investment activities of VC rms across the region. A number of Japanese venture companies with leading-edge technologies will also be invited to participate in the forum, in order to promote their networking opportunities with other Asian VC/VBs. We look forward to welcoming a wide range of participants to this event. 2010 Convinience Store Odaiba Chuo DATE Rinkai line Tokyo Teleport Sta. Teleport Sta.
