New volleyball arena
Print Edition
TOKYO governor Yuriko Koike wants a new volleyball arena for the 2020 Olympics built in the city’s waterfront Ariake district instead of using an existing facility in neighboring Yokohama. The proposal for a new venue comes despite a Tokyo government panel warning that the cost of the Olympics could exceed US$30 billion — four times the initial estimate — unless drastic cuts are made. Koike had proposed moving volleyball, swimming and canoe sprint to existing venues outside the capital, but has now agreed that facilities for all three will be built in the city as earlier planned. The final decision on the volleyball arena is expected to be made December 21 during a teleconference of a four-party working group reviewing costs of the 2020 Olympics.
