One of the biggest hurdles for organisers was securing the 42 venues needed for the Games as many had already been booked for 2021. However, Tokyo 2020 Executive Director of Operations Satoshi Yamashita said this week all venues had been “secured verbally”. The marathon and race walking events will remain in the northern city of Sapporo after being controversially moved out of Tokyo because of the anticipated scorching summer heat. John Coates, the head of the IOC’s coordination commission, said that securing the venues had been a “massive task”. “We are talking about venues in different ownership,” he told the session. “We are talking also of securing the Olympic village which has been constructed by a consortium of 11 different companies, who have agreed to put back the date when will be able to hand over the apartments to the public.”
