 Tokyo 2020 Olympics Tasks

(3x3 Basketball

35FACTS

• Some 182 countries and regions join in the world competitions, and the number of players practicing the sport has more than 430,000.

• 8-team tournament Men & Women

• 3x3 basketball is an exciting sport. It developed from street basketball and is considered to be the world’s No. 1 urban team sport. In 2007, the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) formally adopted universal rules for 3x3 basketball ahead of its debut at the 2010 Youth Olympic Games (YOG) in Singapore.

• However, the highlight of 3x3 basketball is its fast pace. There is no break after a goal or foul, and the team on offence must take a shot within 12 seconds from possession of the ball.

• Coaches are not allowed to be at courtside, so players must build their own strategy. Players must also have good reflexes, coordination and vision as 3x3 basketball is a physically demanding sport with substitutions made frequently.

(Archery

5 FACTS

• Archery dates back over 10,000 years, when bows and arrows were first used for hunting and warfare, before it developed as a challenging activity in medieval England. There are several variants, including target archery, where competitors shoot at stationary targets on a flat range; and field archery, which involves shooting at targets of varying and often unmarked distance, typically in woodland and rough terrain. This sport archery is an olympic sport, used in more than 140 countries around the world.

• Individual competition (Men/Women)                                                             Team competition (Men/Women)

• These individual elimination matches see the loser leave the competition and the winner goes to the next phase, until two people remain to contest the gold-medal match. The two semi-final losers compete for bronze.

• If there is a tie after five sets (with a scoreline of 5-5), each athlete shoots a single arrow. The athlete whose arrow lands closest to the middle of the target wins the match — unless both athletes shoot a 10, whereby a second arrow is shot.

• Team and mixed team matches are also decided using the set system, but each team set consists of six arrows and each mixed team set consists of four arrows rather than three. The first team or mixed team to five set points wins the match.

(Cycling BMX Racing

5 FACTS

• BMX racing has its roots in the racing culture that started in California between the 1960s and 1970s. Influenced by motocross riders, children tried to imitate their heroes, but the sport remained relatively small until the 1980s. In 1982, the movie E.T. was released and helped popularise BMX racing mostly due to the famous final chase scene. That year the BMX bike became the “must have” bicycle for children and teenagers.

• There are few rules other than the mandatory use of 20 inch wheels, but the increased exposure and popularity of the sport has led to innovations such as the use of carbon fibre frames, as competitors seek to gain an advantage to go faster.

• BMX races are thrilling sprint races with a maximum of eight riders who launch themselves from a gate atop the 8m high 35-degree start hill. Riders can reach 60km/h while riding over alternating jumps and around banked corners.

• The course is about 400m long and of all the five cycling events, this is the one in which riders need the most protective gear with a full-face helmet, gloves, goggles and long-sleeved protective clothing all used.

• The most exciting places to watch are the corners. Riders will keep up their speed heading into these turns as they jostle for spots. This sometimes leads to collisions. However, even if riders do crash, it is still important for them to finish the race, with points awarded for crossing the finish line. The finish also makes for exciting viewing with both spectators and riders holding their breath to find out where they place in tight finishes.
