The
Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games were over on Sept 5.
Most games were held without spectators because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Many new facilities were built for the events, but their audience seats were empty during the games. Some parts of the facilities, including seats, will be removed without being used.
The
Tokyo Equestrian Park, or Baji Park, is one of such facilities.
New facilities, including a stadium, were built for the games. The 20 thousand audience seats of the stadium have not been used. Then, most of the sears will be removed.
JRA (Japan Racing Association), the owner of the facilities, opened the park to the public on Sept. 6 and 7.
Thousands of people visited the place to see the Olympic and Paralympic facilities before they are removed.
The obstacles used in the show jumping competitions were displayed in many places in the park. (See also the top photo)
The Olympic Rings were also placed.
This maiko (Japanese traditional entertainer) boards were placed at the sides of an obstacle during the competitions.
Many peoples were watching the competition field from the seats in the stadium. (See also the 2nd and 3rd photos)
They also watched the field from nearer places.
The white sands from the Netherland as well as fiber materials and sheet pieces are used in the field. This combination is good for the legs of the horses, a staff member explained.

The backyard-facilities looked good. They will also be removed soon.
There are still many arguments on the TOKYO 2020 events (Olympic and Paralympic Games). Opinions divide on whether the Games should have been held or not.
Leaving many questions unanswered, the TOKYO 2020 was over.
