Tokyo warm-up facilities 'not perfect' - Coe
World Athletics president Lord Coe acknowledges the less-than-ideal location of warm-up facilities at the World Championships in Tokyo, with athletes facing a 2.5km journey from Yoyogi Park to Japan National Stadium. Athletes like Keely Hodgkinson have raised concerns about the draining nature of this commute just before competing. Coe recognizes the challenges with transport and logistics, stating that organizers have made efforts to improve the situation post-Olympics, despite it not being perfect.
