Allianz officially began its eight-year worldwide partnership with the Olympic Movement on 1 January 2021.

Today, to mark 100 days to go until the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Torch Relay begins, the Japanese capital’s famous Skytree landmark was illuminated in the colours of the Olympic torch, while the Organising Committee confirmed plans for the municipalities along the route.

The IOC President’s visit to Tokyo continued on Tuesday with a tour of the Olympic Village and the Olympic Stadium, in the company of Olympians from Japan and other countries around the world.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) Executive Board (EB) and Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee today discussed the estimated USD 280 million (JPY 30 billion) in cost savings that will be achieved by initial simplification and optimisation measures developed to deliver Games fit for a post-corona world.

The Olympic Torch Relay will start its journey on 25 March 2021 from the J-Village National Training Centre in Fukushima Prefecture, and then traverse all 47 prefectures across Japan over a period of 121 days. In principle, the route and the schedule of the Relay will remain as originally planned.

The Olympic flame will be on public display at the Japan Olympic Museum in Tokyo, as of 1 September. The lantern was delivered during a special ceremony prepared by the Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee. It will remain there until 1 November.
