Competition facilities

Looking up from the main flagpole, the cauldron of the 1964 Olympic Games is conspicuous. Unlike the main flagpole, which records honor, this cauldron records the hard work of two generations. As soon as Japan put forward its bid for the 1964 Olympic Games, it began to prepare for the task of casting the Olympic cauldron to the 68-year-old Mannosuke Suzuki, who was born in a foundry family and is known as the "God hand". Unfortunately, to the last process, the molten iron injected into the mold broke the mold and the casting failed, at this time only three weeks from the required completion time, the exhausted Suzuki Mannosuke suddenly collapsed, five days later, Suzuki Mannosuke to his son Suzuki Wengo inherit his legacy, continue to complete the casting.

Managers here say the grass is the most commendable part of the stadium, after a period in which some people were allowed to play golf there because the grass was in excellent condition and in order to increase revenue, a move that led to the deteriorating condition of the grass and was questioned by many players. Now, it's banned golf And planting grass twice a year, respectively, are two kinds of grass in summer and winter, and the lawn can ensure evergreen all year round. When the reporter came to the Olympic Stadium, it was nearly late autumn, but the grass was not yellow at all, and it was still green. This is perhaps one of the reasons why international competitions are often coveted here.
The most prominent advantage of the Olympic Stadium is its convenience. It is located in the center of Tokyo, where three main subway lines and two above-ground train stations converge. Japan is an earthquake-prone country, the stadium will not have any problems in the face of a magnitude 6 earthquake, and the stadium was not damaged during the two larger earthquakes. However, only one side of the stadium has a roof, and now there are many International sports organization Are reluctant to arrange the games in the Tokyo Olympic Stadium, one of the important reasons is that the ceiling area is too small.

The stadium, which has been in use for 50 years, is full of the vicissitudes of time, and is not outdated at all, and after the renovation of the 2002 World Cup, it is still integrated with the modern buildings around it. Taking a walk outside the stadium on an autumn afternoon, Akio Okada pointed to the 15.21-meter main flagpole and said, "Year after year, the wind and sun, earthquakes and hurricanes have not made this kind of stadium collapse, because the spirit of Keno Oda (Japan's first Olympic champion) has made the stadium immortal."
