Tokyo Olympic Para swimming and volleyball competition facility inside first public release November 21 18:28
The inside of the sports facilities such as swimming and volleyball that Tokyo is preparing for the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics was released to the press for the first time on the 21st.
On the 21st, the inside was first disclosed to domestic and foreign news organizations at the two competition facilities being developed by the city in Koto Ward for next year's Tokyo Games.
Of these, the Tokyo Aquatics Center has almost completed a main pool with 10 lanes of 50 meters where swimming and artistic swimming are performed.
The construction was 90% as of the end of last month, and the construction of the diving pool and interior where the diving is done is now underway.
Next year's tournament will have 15,000 spectator seats, and seat installation work has been completed for about 60%. The facility is scheduled to be completed in February next year.
The Ariake Arena, the venue for volleyball and wheelchair basketball, is almost complete.
The main arena, which is approximately 4100 square meters in size, has a concrete floor to make it easy to set up various stages to be used as a concert venue after the competition.
The ceiling and walls of the entrance are often made of cedar from the Tama area in Tokyo.
The facility is scheduled to be completed next month, after which the Organizing Committee will prepare the floor of the main arena and temporary auditoriums for next year's competition.
Tomohiro Terasawa, head of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics Preparatory Bureau in charge of the maintenance of the Ariake Arena, said, “I want the audience to feel the warmth of trees and the Japanese style. I want you to be. "
