A ceremony to mark the start of full-fledged construction of Tokyo's new Olympic stadium has been held.
Leaders of the government and sports authorities gathered at the construction site on Sunday. Tokyo will host the Olympics and Paralympics in 2020.
Building work actually began on December 1st, more than a year later than planned. The government scrapped an initial design criticized as too costly.
The chairman of the Japan Sport Council, Kazumi Ohigashi, said at the ceremony that he hopes the new stadium will connect Japan and the world beyond the 2020 games.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Japan has to make the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics the number one event in the world. He said he believes that many athletes will challenge their limits in this new stadium and enliven people and society.
Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike said she hopes the stadium will be remembered with the year 2020 and be loved by everyone for a long time to come.
Construction is scheduled to be completed in November 2019.
