For a second straight Summer Olympics, there will be two cauldrons for the Olympic Flame.
The 2020 Tokyo Games will have the traditional cauldron inside the Olympic Stadium and a second in the Japanese capital’s bustling waterfront area, organizers confirmed Monday.
A second cauldron at the Ariake side of the Yume-no-Ohashi Bridge will be added to allow “the wider public to view it and experience the spirit and excitement of the Games.” The Flame will be displayed in one location at a time.
At the last Summer Games, a second cauldron was placed at Candelaria Church in downtown Rio.
