Tokyo World Championships to Feature Award Ceremonies and Fan Interaction Zone Outside Stadium



On Aug. 25 the organizers of next month's Tokyo World Athletics Championships announced their plans for the medal ceremonies at the Championships. As previously announced in June along with the designs for medals, the award ceremonies will be held on a stage to be set up outside the National Stadium on its south side near the F Gate. The decision follows the groundbreaking setup that proved popular at the 2023 Budapest World Championships.

The first medal ceremony will be held before the start of the evening session on the second day of the Championships, with the ceremony for the afternoon session on the final day planned for after the evening session ends. A fan photo zone where fans can interact with medalists will be set adjacent to the stage. To give children the experience of seeing the operation of a major championship behind the scenes, local junior high school students will be chosen to act as guides escorting the medalists to the stage.
