Tokyo: The organisers of the Tokyo Olympic Games have no plans to restart the Olympic flame display or other mass participation events. Tokyo 2020 spokesman Masa Takaya told a press conference on Wednesday, "We have no particular timing to start our events gathering a certain number of people," reports Xinhua news agency. The Olympic flame has been kept in a secure location in Tokyo after the public display in Fukushima was suspended in March. According to a roadmap approved by the IOC two weeks ago, the postponed test events will be restarted in March 2021 and the Olympic torch relay held from March to July. IANS
