With the establishment of the new Olympic stadium in motion, Mizuno believes there is plenty of opportunity for providers of products and services to be involved. “We will certainly consider any idea or technology that is suggested to assist us accomplish our ambitions.” Mizuno believes that Tokyo as a city has much more to offer to the industry than just its Olympic venues.
To ensure the success of the event the 2020 LOC is in close contact with the LOC for the 2019 Rugby World Cup which will be hosted in Japan. The IRB Rugby World Cup has become one of the biggest sports events in recent years. The newly built Olympic Stadium is one of the venues that will be used for the 2019 Rugby World Cup, providing the 2020 LOC with a perfect dress rehearsal before the major event. “But we will organise other events too to stress-test our organisational capabilities and our venues,” Mizuno says.
Mizuno is confi dent the population of Tokyo will not let him down.
“
Japanese people always answer the call when volunteers are requested. It is in our genes.
Perhaps they are not vocal about that yet, but certainly will deliver in 2020, he assures.
”
International observers viewed the absence of expression of passion as one commonly fi nds in societies like Spain or Turkey, as the Tokyo bid’s Achilles heel. Perhaps the IOC should rather take it as a blessing. Tokyo’s focus is not aimed at the start of the event but rather on the fi nal outcome.
