TOKYO - Sea Forest Waterway, which will play host to rowing events at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, opened on Sunday with the sport’s world governing body praising organizers for delivering a “world class” venue on schedule.
International Rowing Federation president Jean-Christophe Rolland, himself an Olympic gold medalist from Sydney 2000, was glad the venue was completed on time. The course, which is 2,300 meters long, has been constructed on canals in Tokyo Bay and is next to a former landfill site, which has been turned into a forest in time for the Games.
Several dozen rowers and canoeists managed to successfully complete a demonstration on Sunday despite the conditions and Rolland said he was unfazed.
