Olympics wall chart: Print at home schedule for 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games

Team GB arrive at the Tokyo Olympic Games with a host of medal hopefuls. And you can keep track of all the big events in Japan with the Express’s handy wall chart.

The rescheduled 2020 Games get fully underway with the opening ceremony on Friday 23 July, but British athletes will be in action earlier in the first week.

The team sport competitions all kick off prior to the opening ceremony, with the football, basketball, softball and hockey tournaments set to be well underway by the time the flame is lit in Tokyo’s Olympic Stadium.

Team GB’s women’s hockey team famously won gold in Rio five years ago, and will be hoping for more golden success in Japan this time around.

And so will the Team GB women’s football team, who will be appearing at an Olympic Games for only the second time, following on from their London 2012 appearance.

The collective GB squad will be one of the strongest at the tournament and are among the medal hopefuls.

Team GB and Manchester City star Lucy Bronze says she’s excited by the potential of the amalgamated group of players.

“It works to our advantage in being a new team. A lot of other teams might say we haven’t had much time to prepare, but the staff we have with GB are so well prepared anyway and the players have played in top countries and for top teams, including Champions League finals, so for us to come together has been quite slick and quite easy.

“The pressure will come from ourselves. We have an expectation that we want to get on the podium and win gold because we have the players and quality to do that regardless of what England, Scotland and Wales have done.

“Last year I was super excited because of the players we had to pick from. I was thinking ‘this gold medal is coming back to Great Britain’ and my mindset has not changed one bit, even having to wait another 12 months for it to come around.

“The talent we have got, there’s no reason why we can’t beat any team out there.”

Britain’s biggest hope in the headline track-and-field event at the Olympic Stadium comes in the shape of 25-year-old sprint sensation Dina Asher-Smith.

The reigning 200m World Champion will be one of the medal favourites in both that discipline and the 100m, although competition is fierce, with Jamaican pair Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Elaine Thompson-Herah both also in outstanding form heading into the Games.

But for Asher-Smith, the extra year of preparation has been a huge bonus.

“The best thing about the last year for me was a change of pace,” she said. “Even though everything in my life was progressive, it was changing quickly every single year. 

“It was nice to step back and take a breath, because it was a lot. It was a change, people in the sport who’ve known me since I was a teenager now saw me on TV. It’s fun for people to see, but I’m not used to this.

“It was nice to get used to that, understand what it means and the extra time to get stronger.”

And many of Team GB’s other medal hopefuls will come on the water or at the velodrome.

The rowing action at the Sea Forest Waterway on the edge of Tokyo Bay will be one of the headline features of the opening week, as will the road cycling, with the men’s and women’s road races both scheduled to head to the foothills of Mount Fuji.

The track cycling at the Izu Velodrome is scheduled for the second week of the Games.
