(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

It’s Tokyo’s second time hosting a Summer Olympics, 57 years after their first time in the spotlight. These Games will see the introduction of some exciting new sports to the lineup(阵容), too: skate boarding will make its Olympic debut, as well as karate(空手道), surfing and sport climbing.
There will be plenty of classics to watch as well, from the ever—popular swimming and gymnastics events to track and field and team sports. And while Olympic trials have yet to take place, we'll most likely be seeing the return of superstars like the 2016 gymnastics standout Simone Bilesimming record—setter Katie Ledecky and track star Sydney McLaughlin, who was just 16 when she competed in the Rio Olympics and has been on the rise ever since.
The 2020 Summer Olympics will begin on July 23, 2021 and run until Aug 8, 2021, with the opening ceremony on July 23 and the closing ceremony on Aug 8. In between, audiences around the world will tune in to two weeks of nonstop sports. Most of the big swimming events will take place over the first week. while the track and field competitions ramp up(进展)in the second half.
For the second time in its history, Tokyo is hosting the summer Olympics they first hosted back in 1964. (Japan has also been home to two Winter Olympics, at Sapporo in 1972 and Nagano in 1998.) Tokyo is the first city in Asia to host an Olympics twice.
There are many changes to the Olympics this year. The biggest change to the Olympics for 2020 is the addition of the five new sports and the return of baseball(absent in 2016), plus a few new events, like the three-on-three basketball competition.
One change sure to receive a lot of attention are the adjusted gymnastics team rules: instead of fielding a team of five athletes, each country will be whittled down to four all-around contestants(参赛者), with two more teammates added to compete only in individu
al events.
