[:it]Il nuovo anno è finalmente arrivato e mancano solo pochi mesi all’inizio delle Olimpiadi di Tokyo 2020.
Le Olimpiadi sono sempre un momento in cui tutto il mondo si riunisce. E’ il momento in cui diventiamo tutti esperti di scherma, lancio del disco e getto del peso. Alla fine tutto il mondo è paese, ma quelle di Tokyo 2020 si preannunciano essere uno spettacolo da togliere il fiato.
Tutti i dettagli su Tokyo 2020
A meno di un anno dall’apertura, cominciano ad uscire le prime news e i primi programmi ufficiali. La cerimonia di apertura si terrà il 24 luglio 2020 e quella di chiusura il 9 agosto, mentre le Paralimpici avranno luogo dal 25 agosto al 6 settembre dello stesso anno. Potete trovare un programma completo di tutte le competizioni sul sito ufficiale.
Dove si svolgeranno le Olimpiadi di Tokyo 2020
Per questa occasione, Tokyo ha preparato più di 40 luoghi e palazzetti in giro per la città. Gli ultimi giochi estivi ospitati in questa città, risalgono al 1964, le prime Olimpiadi in Asia. Tuttavia, la capitale del Sol Levante, ha ospitato per ben due volte le olimpiadi invernali, nel 1972 e 1998.
Il Logo
Nel corso della storia, il motivo a scacchi è diventato molto popolare in diversi paesi e per svariate ragioni. In Giappone, questo divenne formalmente noto come “ichimatsu moyo” nel periodo Edo (1603-1867). Questo disegno a scacchi nel tradizionale colore giapponese del blu indaco esprime una raffinata eleganza e raffinatezza che esemplifica il Giappone.
Composto da tre varietà di forme rettangolari, il design rappresenta diversi paesi, culture e modi di pensare. Incorpora il messaggio di “unità nella diversità”. Esprime inoltre che i Giochi Olimpici e Paralimpici cercano di promuovere la diversità come piattaforma per connettere il mondo.
Dove trovare i biglietti per Tokyo 2020
Al momento purtroppo, e come previsto, i biglietti sono tutti sold out. Tuttavia, una nuova ondata di biglietti sarà disponibile in primavera.
Quali sono i nuovi sport
Come spesso accade ad ogni olmpiade, anche per le Olimpiadi di Tokyo 2020 ci sono nuove specialità in competizione. Nonostante mancassero all’edizione di Londra e Rio, il Baseball and Softball entrano ufficialmente in gara grazie alla forte popolarità in Giappone. Cinque nazioni gareggeranno assieme agli ospitanti per la medaglia d’oro sul diamante.
Assieme a queste arrivano anche il Karate, la scalata, surf e skateboard. Sulla stessa ondata, il basket aggiunge i tornei a tre per otto nazioni. Non mancheranno poi il Rugy a sette, una variante che coinvolge solo 7 giocatori per parte. Inoltre, ritorna il golf dopo il suo debutto a Rio.
Le medaglie
Non da trascurare sono le medaglie che gli atleti vinceranno durante questi giochi olimpici 2020 a Tokyo. Infatti, per questa occasione Tokyo ha creato un progetto speciale per rendere queste olimpiadi un po’ più “verdi”. Questo progetto speciale, il Tokyo 2020 Medal Project , avrà il compito di raccogliere più di 80,000 tonnellate di telefoni cellulari e piccoli apparecchi ellettronici da riciclare in tutto il Giappone. Questi serviranno poi a creare le meravigliose medaglie delle Olimpiadi e Paraolimpiadi 2020.
Il sito del progetto, ha affermato che sono stati usati oltre 6 millioni di telefoni cellulari derivati da una donazione nazionale durata due anni.
Sport e tecnologia insieme per le Olimpiadi Tokyo 2020
Le Olimpiadi estive del 2020 si preannunciano già spettacolari, ma le sorprese non finiscono qui. Il Giappone è famoso per essere all’avanguardia su ricerca e sviluppo in diversi campi tecnologici. Infatti, durante la cerimonia di apertura, Sky Canvas, con l’aiuto della compagnia di ricerca ALE, illuminerà il cielo notturno. Le due società lanceranno nell’atmosfera “gli ingredienti per una stella cadente” utilizzando un piccolo dispositivo satellitare.
Inoltre, sappiamo che in Giappone i fuochi d’artificio sono molto importanti e per questa occasione, la città pensa di creare una propria pioggia di meteoriti controllata.
Ma le curiosità continuano. All’interno del villaggio Olimpico, saranno disponibili robot umanoidi per fornire indicazioni su alloggi e attrazioni nelle vicinanze. Tuttavia, il Giappone non si accontenta e vuole fare le cose in grande. Infatti, è in fase di sviluppo anche la tecnologia che consentirà aggiornamenti olografici di eventi all’interno dello stadio.
I trasporti di Tokyo 2020
Tokyo si sa, in quanto a trasporti è una delle città più avanzate del mondo e più connesse del mondo. Per queste Olimpiadi 2020 ci saranno delle misure speciali in atto. Infatti, per recarsi al proprio hotel, si può utilizzare una sola tessera magnetica per treni, stanza d’albergo e taxi senza conducente. Esatto, un taxi senza conducente i quali test su strada sono già in corso a Tokyo.
Ma le novità per quanto riguarda il trasporto a Tokyo 2020 non finiscono qui. Infatti, la città introdurrà nuovamente il treno più veloce al mondo. Sebbene non sarà operativo fino al 2027, il Maglev farà il suo debutto alle Olimpiadi di Tokyo. Questo treno ha infranto tutti i record di velocità terrestre ed è in grado di raggiungere velocità circa 600 km/h.
Questi treni futuristici operano grazie al principio della levitazione magnetica, consentendo ai treni di restare sospesi sui binari. È l’assenza di frizione che consente ai treni di raggiungere tali velocità, pur continuando a rispettare i rigorosi standard di sicurezza giapponesi. Insomma, un assaggio di quel futuro fantascientifico che fino ad ora abbiamo visto solo nei film.
Shinkansen N700s Supreme
Durante le Olimpiadi di Tokyo 2020 debutterà anche la nuova seria di Shinkansen N700S, detta anche Shinkansen Supreme.
Completamente ridisegnato in modalità più intelligente e silenziosa, questo treno funzionerà sulla linea Tokaido Shinkansen. Essendo più leggero di 11 tonnellate rispetto alla generazione precedenti consumerà meno energia e correrà tra le stazioni di Tokyo e quella di Shin-Osaka.
La nuova stazione della linea Yamanote
In onore di questo evento, la linea Yamanote inaugurerà anche una nuova stazione: Takanawa Gateway Station. Situata fra le stazioni di Shinagawa e Tamachi, la nuova offrirà l’accesso all’Haneda Airport Monorail e alla linea JR Keihin-Tohoku. Progettata nello stile eki naka, la stazione Takagawa Gateway sorgerà su 4 piani con un’area pubblica che ospiterà un grande scermpo per la visione dei Giochi Olimpici 2020.

The Olympics are always a time when the whole world comes together. It is the moment when we all become experts in fencing, discus throwing and weight throwing. In the end, the whole world is like a small town, but the Tokyo 2020 Olympics are shaping up to be a breathtaking show.
All the details on Tokyo 2020
Less than a year after opening, the first official news and programs begin to come out. The opening ceremony will be held on July 24, 2020, and the closing ceremony on August 9, while the Paralympics will take place from August 25 to September 6 of the same year. You can find a complete program of all competitions on the official website.
Where the Tokyo 2020 Olympics will take place
For this occasion, Tokyo has prepared more than 40 places and buildings around the city. The last summer games hosted in this city date back to 1964, the first Olympics in Asia. However, the capital of the rising sun has twice hosted the winter Olympics, in 1972 and 1998.
The logo
Throughout history, the checkered pattern has become very popular in several countries and for various reasons. In Japan, this formally became known as “ichimatsu moyo” in the Edo period (1603-1867). This checkered design in the traditional Japanese colour of indigo blue expresses a refined elegance and sophistication that exemplifies Japan.
Made of three varieties of rectangular shapes, the design represents different countries, cultures and ways of thinking. It incorporates the message of “unity in diversity”. It also expresses that the Olympic and Paralympic Games seek to promote diversity as a platform for connecting the world.
Where to find tickets for Tokyo 2020
At the moment, unfortunately, and as expected, the tickets are all sold out. However, a new wave of tickets will be available in the spring.
The new sports
As it often happens with every Olympiad, there are also new competing specialities for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Despite missing the London and Rio edition, Baseball and Softball officially entered the competition thanks to the strong popularity in Japan. Five nations will compete with the hosts for the gold medal on the diamond field.
Together with these, we can also find Karate, climbing, surfing and skateboarding. In the same wave, basketball adds three-on-three tournaments for eight nations. Rugy seven will not be less, a variant involving only 7 players per side. In addition, golf returns after its debut in Rio.
The medals
Not to be overlooked are the medals that athletes will win during these 2020 Olympic games in Tokyo. In fact, for this occasion, Tokyo has created a special project to make these Olympics a little greener. This special project, the Tokyo 2020 Medal Project, will have the task of collecting more than 80,000 tons of mobile phones and small electronic devices to be recycled throughout Japan. These will then serve to create the wonderful medals of the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics Games.
The project’s website said over 6 million mobile phones from a two-year-long national donation were used.
Sport and technology together for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics
The 2020 Summer Olympics are already shaping up to be spectacular, but the surprises don’t end here. Japan is famous for being at the forefront of research and development in various technological fields. In fact, during the opening ceremony, Sky Canvas, with the help of the research company ALE, will illuminate the night sky. The two companies will launch “the ingredients for a shooting star” into the atmosphere using a small satellite device.
In addition, we know that fireworks are very important in Japan and for this occasion, the city plans to create its own controlled meteor shower.
But curiosities continue. Inside the Olympic village, humanoid robots will be available to provide information on nearby accommodation and attractions. However, Japan is not satisfied yet and wants to do things big. In fact, a technology that will allow holographic updates of events inside the stadium is also being developed.
Tokyo 2020 transportation
In terms of transport, Tokyo is known to be one of the most advanced and connected cities in the world. For these 2020 Olympics there will be special measures in place. In fact, to go to your hotel, you can use only one magnetic card for trains, hotel room and taxi without a driver. That’s right, a driverless taxi whose road tests are already underway in Tokyo.
But the news regarding transportation in Tokyo 2020 does not end here. In fact, the city will once again introduce the fastest train in the world. Although it will not operate until 2027, Maglev will make its debut at the Tokyo Olympics. This train has broken all ground speed records and is capable of reaching speeds of around 600 km/h.
These futuristic trains operate thanks to the principle of magnetic levitation, allowing the trains to remain suspended on the tracks. It is the absence of friction that allows trains to reach these speeds, while continuing to comply with strict Japanese safety standards. In short, a taste of that science fiction future that until now we have only seen in movies.
Shinkansen N700s Supreme
During the Tokyo 2020 Olympics the new Shinkansen N700S series, also called Shinkansen Supreme, will debut.
Completely redesigned in a more intelligent and silent mode, this train will operate on the Tokaido Shinkansen line. Being 11 tons lighter than the previous generation, it will consume less energy and will run between Tokyo and Shin-Osaka stations.
The new station of the Yamanote line
In honor of this event, the Yamanote line will also inaugurate a new station: Takanawa Gateway Station. Located between Shinagawa and Tamachi stations, the new one will offer access to Haneda Airport Monorail and the JR Keihin-Tohoku line. Designed in the eki naka style, the Takagawa Gateway station will rise on 4 floors with a public area that will host a great shield for watching the 2020 Olympic Games.
We are very much looking forward to these Tokyo 2020 Olympics, and you?
