When and where is the Tokyo Olympic Torch Relay?

On 25 March 2021, the Tokyo Olympic Torch Relay will begin in Fukushima Prefecture.

1. The Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee announced the schedule of the torch relay on March 28, 2021: on March 25, 2021, the torch relay will start in Fukushima Prefecture and then pass through all prefectures in Japan in the next 121 days. The new schedule is generally one day earlier than the previous schedule.

2. The Tokyo Olympic Torch Relay will begin on March 25, 2021 at the J-Village National Training Center in Fukushima Prefecture, and will then be carried out in 47 prefectures in Japan. In principle, the new route and schedule of the torch relay will remain the same as the original plan before the postponement.

3. Due to the impact of the epidemic and other factors, the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee has also been studying a more streamlined and effective Olympic torch relay plan. Options under discussion include: an appropriate reduction in the number of accompanying vehicles; Streamlining the launch ceremony and celebrations, re-examining the decoration and equipment used at the event site; Improving the efficiency of other aspects of the relay's operations and preparations, including a re-examination of the number of ** and the number of other staff involved.

With the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games just around the corner, the Olympic Torch Relay in Japan will begin on 26 March, starting in Fukushima Prefecture.

From the "J-Village" soccer facility in Fukushima Prefecture, it is considered a symbol of the "Revival Olympics" in Japan. Some 10,000 torchbearers will then travel across Japan over 121 days before lighting the cauldron at the National Stadium, the main venue of the Tokyo Olympics, on 24 July.

According to reports, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics is the first time in 56 years since 1964 that Tokyo will host the Olympic Games, and there will be more than 10,000 participants in this Olympic Games, with a total of 33 major events and 339 small events, a record number of competitions.

In addition, the Paralympic Flame Lighting Ceremony will begin on 13 August, with the Relay taking place from 18 August, and the Paralympic Opening Ceremony on 25 August. It is reported that there are about 4,400 participants in this Paralympic Games, with a total of 22 major events and 539 small events, and the number of participants and events is the largest in the past.

What kind of fuel is the flame of the torch made of?

Most use liquefied natural gas. The main components of LNG are methane and other alkanes.

The fuel used for the Beijing Olympic torch is propane, which is a cheap and commonly used fuel. Its main components are carbon and hydrogen, and after combustion, there is only carbon dioxide and water, and there are no other substances, which will not cause pollution to the environment.

After the combustion of propane, it mainly produces water vapor and carbon dioxide, which will not cause pollution to the environment. More importantly, propane can adapt to a relatively wide temperature range, and can still produce more than 1 saturated vapor pressure at minus 40 degrees Celsius, which is higher than the outside atmospheric pressure, forming combustion; Moreover, the flame produced by the propane has a bright yellow color, and the dynamically fluttering flame stands out against different backgrounds when the torchbearers run.

Extended Materials. During the sacrifice in the holy land of Olympia, people also have sprint races. The athlete who first takes the torch from the priest and lights the flame on the altar in front of Prometheus, the god of fire, is the victor. He will also be revered as a hero.

The "Torch Relay" event was held at the Games and began with the 11th Olympic Games held in Berlin, Germany. At that time, German long-distance runners went to Olympia, Greece, to light the torch, and one by one carried the torch to the Berlin sports grounds.

In 1959, at the first National Games, China held the "torch relay" activity for the first time.

The route of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Torch Relay has been officially announced, which cities in China will it pass through?

First of all, it is impossible to safely carry the torch outside the country, since the 2012 London Olympics was stopped by the International Olympic Committee, and even if it is scheduled to be carried in China, it will not be possible to arrange a six-day relay in China.

If we want to see the torch relay in China, we can only wait for the next time it will be held in China.

The Tokyo Olympic Torch Relay, which has been postponed due to the pandemic, is scheduled to take place on March 25, 2021. As previously planned, the torch relay will take place throughout Japan over 121 days.

The 2021 torch relay will kick off in Fukushima Prefecture on 25 March and will be carried across Japan's 47 prefectures, in line with this year's plan. Due to the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics, many people have expressed their opinions and demanded that the budget be cut. The 2021 torch relay will not reduce the number of torchbearers, but will reduce the number of vehicles in the relay queue, decorations for the departure ceremony, equipment and staff.

At present, the Japanese side has reached an agreement with the International Olympic Committee on this.

In addition, discussions are underway to simplify the Tokyo Olympics by canceling the ceremony of staying in the Olympic Village and reducing the number of translators.

The Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games (Tokyo 2020) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) held their 10th Coordination Committee meeting on the 25th. In response to the decision to simplify the policy, the Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee has spent nearly three months discussing with a number of agencies, and finally listed more than 50 items to be simplified, including downsizing personnel and controlling infrastructure construction.

The newly appointed Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga was a runner at the 1964 Tokyo Olympic torch relay at the age of 15. "He has a deep connection to the Olympics. Yoshiro Mori also said that Suga has been doing his best to prepare for the Tokyo Olympics, and former Prime Minister Shinzo also said that he would "fully support the Olympics".

According to Japan's Kyodo News Agency, the Tokyo Olympic Games Organizing Committee announced the schedule of the torch relay on the 28th: on March 25, 2021, the torch relay will start in Fukushima Prefecture, and then pass through all Japanese prefectures in the next 121 days. The new schedule is generally one day earlier than the previous schedule.

Japan has allowed foreign athletes to enter the country ahead of the Tokyo 2020 Games, a move that Japan hopes will help preparations for the Games.

The Tokyo Olympics, which have been postponed again and again, have become the most expensive Summer Olympics on record, and the cost will continue to rise. Earlier, a report from the University of Oxford said that the Tokyo Olympics had already spent hundreds of millions of dollars.

On July 12, the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games Organising Committee revealed that the Olympic torch relay will start in Fukushima on March 26, the year of the Olympic Games, which is the hardest hit area of the 2011 East Japan Championship.

The naming of Fukushima as the starting point of the torch relay also symbolizes the rebuilding of the Olympic Games. We would like to use this as a global showcase for Japan's recovery from the East Japan Mass, and we hope that the affected residents will participate in the relay event with the torchbearers. Masayoshi Yoshino, Minister of Reconstruction, said.

It is understood that the torch relay will cover all 47 prefectures in Japan and will continue until the day of the opening ceremony, July 24, 2020. Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee President Yoshiro Mori stressed that the development of the torch relay plan was based on a wide range of opinions.

As for the starting point of the torch relay, in addition to Fukushima, the hardest-hit area, the organizing committee also considered Okinawa, which was the starting point of the torch relay for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. At the same time, the IOC agreed to a 121-day plan, despite the fact that the IOC had expressed a desire to limit the torch relay to 100 days. "I appreciate the flexibility.

Yoshiro Mori said.

The Beijing Winter Olympic Torch Relay will take place from 2 to 4 February in Beijing, Yanqing and Zhangjiakou, including 11 closed relay areas outside the closed loop and one independent relay area within the closed loop.

The torch relay is one of the important cultural activities of the Olympic Games, which is of great significance for showing the national image, disseminating the concept of hosting the Olympic Games, enhancing national cohesion, and stimulating the enthusiasm of the masses to participate.
