(R-L): Tokyo 2020 CEO Masato Mizuno, Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe, Governor of Tokyo, Naoki Inose and 'Cool Tokyo' Ambassador Christel Takigawa celebrate as Tokyo is awarded the 2020 Olympic Games during the 125th IOC Session in Buenos Aires, Argentina

Young children, their families and the athletes filled the lanterns with messages of hope and aspirations for the Tokyo 2020 Games.

The event culminated with attendees gathering in a circle to perform the Tokyo Gorin Ondo 2020 dance, demonstrating the collective excitement for the Olympic Games.

An incredible 731 commemorative lanterns were presented to symbolise the 731 days to go until the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.

The Tokyo Organising Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games (Tokyo 2020) has unveiled four new futuristic robots which will be deployed to assist spectators, athletes and officials at competition venues and to relay sound, images and physical feedback from venues to those watching remotely. The Tokyo 2020 Robot Project aims to ensure the Tokyo 2020 Games will be the most innovative ever, with the new robots expected to provide visiting fans and those watching remotely with an experience they are unlikely to forget.

Tokyo 2020 today revealed details of the Tokyo 2020 Flower Lane project. This project engages schoolchildren in prefectures that are hosting Olympic and Paralympic events in the planting of seeds to grow flowers that will be used in place of traditional partitions to create attractive natural barriers at pedestrian screening areas in front of venues.

The colours of the Olympic rings were displayed on the Tokyo Skytree®, brightening the night sky.

With exactly one year to go before the start of the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, the Organising Committee (TOCOG) has at last unveiled the design of the medals that will be awarded at the Games next summer.
