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 A bid from Rome was withdrawn.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.
