The Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee hosted a rugby sevens exhibition at Tokyo Stadium on Thursday, the first Olympic test event since the postponement of the games last spring. A Paralympic wheelchair rugby test event was held at Yoyogi National Gymnasium on April 3 and 4.
Thursday’s event focused mostly on logistics and measures to cope with COVID-19.
The test featured two male and two female teams taking the pitch at a venue that had been used for the 2019 Rugby World Cup.
