Athletes and general runners 2020 run for the first time on track National Stadium December 21 15:25
At the new national stadium, which will be the main stadium for the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, the first event on a track on land was held, with Yoshihide Kiryu, a short-distance track boy, and 2020 general runners participating.
The new national stadium was completed last month and features a roof with plenty of wood and approximately 60,000 spectator seats in a mosaic of five colors, including green and brown.
The event was held for the first time on a track on land, with Kiryu who marked the 9-second mark for the first time in Japan and 2020 runners selected from the general public on the 21st at 100 meters for men.
At the event, all the participants ran slowly on a 400-meter track, followed by a relay connecting the batons at 50-meter intervals, and Kiryu, who served as an anchor, finished with a smile.
Participants wearing the same red T-shirts under a cold sky with a temperature of 8 ° C were able to check the feel of the truck just completed and photographed the way they wanted to run.
Kiryu said, "I was so glad that I entered the National Stadium for the first time, and it was only about six months later that it was going to be a production. I was glad to be able to take one step today. I want to do my best. "
At the National Stadium, there will be an event to show the completion to the general public on the evening of the 21st.
