(2020·浙江省杭州第九中学高三月考)For athletes and volunteers, next year’ s Tokyo Olympics could become known as the Get-Up-Early Games.
Hoping to beat the summer heat in the Japanese capital, organizers said on Tuesday they will start the men’s 50-kilometer race walk final at 5:30 am, while the men’s and the women’ s marathon finals will go at 6 am. The men's and the women's triathlon start at 7:30 am. The women's softball has games scheduled for 9 am, but no men's baseball games will start before noon. Softball and baseball were dropped after the 2008 Olympics, and are appearing because of their popularity in Japan.
The 1964 Tokyo Olympics were held in the autumn and did not face heat problem. Modern Olympics can no longer be held during that time, avoiding Europe’s crowded soccer schedule, and year-round scheduling of baseball, basketball and hockey in the US Koji Murofushi, sports director of the Tokyo Games, said organizers had consulted about scheduling with the International Olympic Committee(IOC). “Athletes, when they know the schedule ahead of time, can make adjustments to their preparations, ” he said.
The swimming finals will begin at 10:30 am. The swim schedule has nothing to do with the heat and will follow the pattern of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Organizers say the first gold medal event will be the women's 10-meter air rifle, which will take place on July 25—the day after the opening ceremony. Organizers have labeled Aug 8—the day before the closing ceremony—as “Super Saturday”, with about 30 finals, the most of any single day. Finals will include the men's basketball, the men's soccer and the men's baseball.
The most difficult event to schedule might be surfing, which is a four-day competition. The schedule changes depending on the wave conditions.
