# The road and time trial competitions are to lead through the park at the Imperial Palace, seat of the Tenno.
There are still almost seven years until Tokyo will welcome the biggest sporting event in the world. The Japanese capital is best known for its population density and limited building space. As a result, Olympic planners have already announced that they will rehabilitate sites from the 1964 Olympics and build only about ten new sites. Today they published the first aerial photos.
Tokyo's application was overshadowed by the criticism leveled at the planners for their rather succinct handling of the Fukushima problem.
The track and BMX competitions are to be held in Ariake, a part of Tokyo not far from the port. Appropriate sites should be built.
# The so-called Rainbow Bridge and the Odaibakaihin Park will be the venue for the triathlon events. The road race of the cycling elite will also pass here.
