The Tokyo Olympics and Para Test Tournament ends in half.
Almost half of the test tournament confirming operational issues for next year's Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics is over, and the tournament organizing committee will respond not only to the heat of issues but also to respond to typhoons and communicate with foreign staff And so many issues were found and it was a harvest.
The test tournaments were held mainly at production venues to confirm operational issues, and by the 9th of the 56 tournaments, 27 tournaments, almost half, were completed.
The Organizing Committee will summarize the test competition from July to last month, which is close to the actual environment, except for the heat countermeasures discussed with the IOC at the end of this month. “In general, we received a high evaluation.” On the other hand, many issues were found and it was a harvest.
Specifically, in response to Typhoon No. 15 last month, the official practice was canceled at “Kanoose Print”, and due to the significant impact on transportation in the Tokyo metropolitan area, the “Karate” tournament delayed the gathering of staff. The start time of the event was lowered by 3 hours, the typhoon affected the indoor competition, and the “Golf” in August was interrupted three times by the effect of lightning, and the weather at this time was in operation. It turns out that it is greatly influenced.
In addition, wireless communication was not possible in mountainous areas, etc. Communication with foreign staff who measure competitions in English and Japanese, as well as evacuation routes and guidance methods are also issues.
The Organizing Committee says it will continue to improve on the remaining test competitions until next spring.
