TOKYO — Tokyo's $1.4 billion National Stadium was without fans for the 2020 Olympics, an event delayed for a year and held in 2021 because of the pandemic. The stadium will get a second chance to show itself off to track and field fans next year when Japan's capital is host of the 2025 track and field world championships. Says Sebastian Coe, the president of World Athletics, speaking in Tokyo: "We are all looking forward to being here in Tokyo in a year's time to celebrate a world championships in a stadium — on this occasion — with spectators."
