The International Olympic Committee executive board has given the green light to organisers of the Tokyo 2020 Games to move three competition venues as part of a plan to cut costs.

The International Olympic Committee’s Sports Director Christophe Dubi announced that Tokyo will present a fully revised plan by April with the intention of locking in all changes for final approval by the IOC’s executive committee in June.
