The 2020 Tokyo Olympics is definitely not the Olympic Games that most worry the audience, but since 8 years ago, oolong news about the Tokyo Olympics has been coming:
In 2012, the Japan Sports Promotion Center (JSC) hosted a huge design competition for the main venue of the Tokyo Olympic Games. The entries submitted by Zaha Hadid Architects won out of 46 proposals and became the final venue. design.
However, three years later, due to the high cost (252 billion yen) of the long construction period and the strong opposition of Japanese architects, Zaha Hadid’s plan was completely overturned. Pay off.
It ’s not just the stadium design plan, but also the Olympic badge.
In July 2015, the design of the Olympic emblem that won out of 104 entries was accused of copying the logo of the Liege Theater in Belgium. The Tokyo Organizing Committee was forced to rush to work and launched a new emblem in 2016.

Now there are only 200 days left until the opening of the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics, but Tokyo is still in a state of constant turmoil: the new Olympic main venue is too crude, the high temperature of Tokyo in summer is difficult to deal with, and the marathon is forced to change its location …
However, Tokyo did not give up on this, but continued the spirit of “ as long as the thinking does not slip, there are more ways than difficulties “, and tried their best to run a game with little money left Olympic Games.
▲ Behind the hard working posture, there is a strong victory and defeat
This Olympic venue is too simple!
After abandoning the scientific and technological design scheme proposed by Zaha Hadid’s office, the Tokyo Organizing Committee turned to Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, who is known for its simplicity (saving money).
Ken Kengo ’s Tokyo New National Arena design proposal is inspired by the five-story pagoda at Horyu-ji Temple in Kyoto. The overall use of a wood-steel hybrid structure covers an area of twice that of the old arena and can accommodate 80,000 spectators. The arena as a whole highlights a “natural way of nature.” The round roof is made of thin fir trees from 47 prefectures and prefectures in Japan. The sunlight in the atrium naturally falls, and the rainwater collected on the roof will gather into a stream around the arena. To create a forest atmosphere.
To implement “natural” to the end, the arena has also abandoned the use of air conditioning.
After a rigorous analysis of the wind direction in the region, the design of the “Big Eaves of the Wind” in the arena can adjust the spacing of the grille according to the different wind directions in each season, and play a diversion effect of warm winter and cool summer. When there are many southerly winds in summer, the grille on the south side of the big eaves will shrink, forming a tuyere to introduce airflow into the auditorium. When the air flow rises due to the heat in the center of the playing field, it will take away the heat and humidity in the field.
If the audience still feels hot, there are 185 additional hair dryers on standby.

For this design, we can say that environmental protection can be used, and high technology can also be used, but that Japanese people have no money.
Although it sounds awesome, the appearance of the new National Arena, which cost 250 billion yen, always feels inexplicable …

▲ Do you feel the warmth of the trees?
There is more than one new national arena.
On October 29, 2019, the Ariake Gymnastics Arena, which will be used as the Tokyo Olympic Gymnastics and Floor Rollerball Arena, will be completed. The Ariake Gymnastics Arena costs 20.5 billion yen, and the museum uses a large amount of traditional Japanese fir trees. The main purpose is to use the wood to make the audience feel the unique natural beauty of Japan.
However, the reporter said after the actual experience, “the buttocks are a little painful.”
▲ Fatty can only take a step forward
To save money, the backrest made of fir in the Ari Gymnastics Arena is only 20cm high, and is at right angles to the horizontal plane. Sitting too hard, you will feel back pain. In addition, the seat spacing is very small, there is only one armrest every third seat, and the audience has to rely on strangers around them.
▲ It is totally ergonomic, like a chair drawn by a schoolboy
If the audience does not bring their own cushions and wants to sit comfortably, the Tokyo Olympics officials have prepared the surrounding cushions (RMB 670).

The main venue without air conditioning and the gymnasium with poor seats are not the ultimate winners of the money-saving competition.
To save money, the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee plans to let the athletes in the player’s village sleep on cardboard boxes. HistoricallyThe most cost-effective bedding bed frame is genuine cardboard, which can be put into use as soon as it is folded and assembled.
The cardboard bed is 90 cm wide and 210 cm long, which is about the same size as a single bed in a college bedroom. Cardboard can be extended by another 20 cm for players who are particularly tall and cannot stretch their legs.
▲ There is little room for turning over
According to the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee, although the cardboard bed looks fragile, it can bear a weight of 200 kg when assembled, so there is no need to worry.
Using the most advanced ideas to spend the least money, this Olympic Games is destined to become a legend.
Fearing heat stroke, elementary school students give up watching the Olympics
Another big problem facing the Tokyo Olympics is the extreme heat in summer.
It is estimated that during the Olympic Games, the ground temperature in Tokyo can reach over 35 degrees, and the local temperature of the crowded Olympic venues may be higher. But poverty is manifested in all aspects. Due to the lack of money, most of the Olympic venues and waiting areas in Tokyo are not air-conditioned.
On July 25, 2019, the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee placed a lot of morning glory near the security checkpoint of the venue at the “Sunstroke Prevention Verification Meeting” held in Tokyo’s Chaofeng Park. Although there was no actual cooling effect, However, the Olympic Organizing Committee hopes to bring a cool impression to the audience, in an attempt to achieve the effect of extinguishing self-confidence.
Although the Organizing Committee ’s idea is very romantic, Japanese netizens keenly pointed out: “Seeing morning glory and hearing the wind bell will make you feel cool” is a unique myth in Japanese culture and is invalid for foreigners. !!
If planting sprinklers doesn’t work, the Organizing Committee has a third trick: artificial snow.
On September 13, 2019, the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee brought in an ice crusher and sprayed “shaved ice” over the Kaisensen Aquatic Arena. However, when the 300 kg ice cubes went down, the site’s temperature, heat index and other indicators remained unchanged. At the same time, the melted ice cubes made the ground stairs wet, and some journalists slipped.
The Olympic Organizing Committee stated that the ultimate purpose of snowfall is not to reduce the temperature, but to make the audience happy.
▲ Happy viewers have turned into Elsa
Are the people in Tokyo confident about the solution provided by the Olympic Organizing Committee and the government?
According to the conference staff, about one million of the more than 10 million tickets for the Olympic and Paralympic Games were distributed to elementary schools in Tokyo. In 2018, almost all primary schools in the city submitted applications for viewing games. However, after the announcement of the specific competition schedule and venue in May of the following year, some elementary schools began to worry about students’ heat stroke and gave up viewing games. As of December, 206 primary schools had already withdrawn, and 101 primary schools were considering withdrawal.
▲ In the actual test, the minimum temperature of the main venue is 32 degrees.
Want to come and go, it’s really better to hold the watermelon and blow the air conditioner to watch the Olympics at home!
Tokyo Hokkaido Marathon
It’s not just elementary school students who have lost confidence in Tokyo, but the IOC (International Olympic Committee).
On November 1, 2019, IOC unilaterally decided to relocate the Olympic Marathon and Walking Walking event to Sapporo, Hokkaido because of concerns that Tokyo ’s summer will be too hot and affect performance. There are only 9 months left until the start of the game. All the specific links such as running the route are zero preparation, and Sapporo and Tokyo are in panic.
Transfer marathonAfter the announcement of the purpose, the public relations department of Sapporo City received hundreds of opinions by phone and email, accusing “Sapporo of being a thief” and asking “Sapporo to withdraw from the marathon.” The mayor of Sapporo must not only carry the cauldron for emergency preparations for the Olympics, but also be scolded, and he was full of sadness when attending the press conference.
However, Professor Takimura Takimura from Tokyo Agricultural University conducted field tests on the heatstroke prevention effects of two roads and found that the surface temperature of “insulated roads” is indeed about 10 degrees lower than ordinary roads, but the excess heat is reflected on the road Above, the temperature at the height of the person is higher than that of ordinary roads (average about 1.5 degrees high, and 3 degrees higher at the highest).
Running on such roads is easier to heatstroke than running on ordinary roads.
At this time, the “insulated road” has been repaired for 136 kilometers, and the 30 billion yen invested in road construction have all been floated.
Already prepared for the marathon, small shops on both sides of the marathon route with refreshments and viewing seats had to quietly take away the stalls.
In order to comfort the injured Tokyo residents, IOC proposes to use the original planned route of the Tokyo Olympic Marathon to hold another “Olympic Celebration Marathon” after the Olympic Games.
Calculate the Olympic Games account
The past few Olympics have been accompanied by huge deficits, rushing facilities, and underutilization of venues after the event.
Among them, the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games not only failed to bring economic growth to Brazil, but also caused dissatisfaction due to excessive spending in the context of the national economic regression, which accelerated the subsequent political turmoil. After the Olympic Games, due to insufficient utilization and poor maintenance, almost 4.6 billion U.S. dollars of Olympic venues built with the help of the country were abandoned, causing huge waste.
▲ Seats fall off in Maracana Stadium
For most countries with uncertain economic prospects, the Olympics are no longer an economic booster, but a loss-making transaction with huge initial investment and unknown future earnings.
This hot potato is now in Japan, and it ’s only costing a lot more.
According to the new budget given by the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Organizing Committee, the administrative and operating costs of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics are estimated to be about 820 billion yen, and the cost of building and renovating venues is expected to be about 680 billion yen. In addition, a reserve of 100 to 200 billion yen will be reserved for emergencies.
The total amount mentioned above is 36,000 to 4800 billion yen (307.5 billion yuan), or it may represent the nominal amount of FY20200.6% to 0.8% of GDP.
