TOKYO — Construction at two Tokyo 2020 venues is nearing completion eight months before the start of the Olympics, as preparations for the Games enter the final stretch on schedule. All of the venues being built or refurbished for Tokyo 2020 are on schedule, including the centerpiece National Stadium, where construction work finished last week. The swimming test event will take place at the Aquatics Centre on April 14-15. A feature running throughout many of the Tokyo 2020 venues is the use of wood. After the Tokyo 2020 Games are over, the arena will be used for concerts and other cultural events.
