The news reported that a volunteer interpreter at the Beppu-Oita Marathon called African guest athletes chimpanzees on her blog.
The details are;
the Japan Times
Before as a interpreter or volunteer, she has problems as a person.
It's difficult for event organizers to find out such personal problems. Unlike companies' recruiting process, they can't take time to have thorough interviews with each and every applicant.

Japanese swimming star Rikako Ikee diagnosed with leukemia
Today, a shocking news made headlines around Japan, even abroad.
A talented 18-year-old Japanese swimmer, Rikako Ikee, who is very popular in Japan and one of the athletes who are most expected to win gold medals at the Tokyo 2020, posted on her Twitter that she was diagnosed with leukemia.
She had been in the training trip in Australia since last month, but she returned to Japan last week because of being in bad shape.
The details are;
CNN news
Very surprising and shocking.
Almost all Japanese people are shocked.
A person who was surprised and shocked most is her, needless to say.
But she shows positive comment on her Twitter. What a strong mental she has!
Her coach and the vice chairman of the Japan Swimming Federation also said in the news conference that she was really strong.
But, she is still 18 years old, and only one year until the Olympic trial.
I hope she recovers from the disease soon and we can see her at the Tokyo 2020.

Ticket Selling Process and the Price
The ticket selling process for Tokyo 2020 has been announced.
Notice!
This is the information only for residents in Japan.
SCHEDULE
The First Chance - after April 2019
Online application and Lottery
You can apply for tickets through the Tokyo 2020 ID site from April this year.
(You need to register the ID in advance.)
Then, lottery is conducted and you are informed if you get the tickets or not after mid of June.
The Second Chance - Autumn 2019
Online application on a first-come-first-served basis
The Third (and Final) Chance - Spring 2020
Over-the-counter sale
I think that tickets of popular events are sold out at the first chance.
It seems to be difficult to get tickets you want.
Although many TV news reported that online sales will start in April, the TOCOG still shows vague expression.
Look at the chart above.
Although it's already 2019, they still say "2019 spring, fall..."
Here in Japan, spring is supposed to start around March. Next month! Announce the specific month!!
PRICE
There are 5 classes for each event, A - E.
The opening ceremony is, A is 300,000 JPY and E is 12,000 JPY.
I wonder if seat E is enough to feel the atmosphere of the ceremony. Or it might be disappointing?
The highest is ticket A of the Track & Field Final, 130,000. Its ticket E is quite reasonable, 5,800. Hmm,,, Seat E is... almost impossible to see each athlete?
I want to see the opening ceremony and swimming.
The details are here.
Because the TOCOG doesn't provide the English page of it (as usual), the above is the Japanese site.
For your information, there are old information of the price in the English site.
Those were published last summer. very old info.
So it doesn't include the prices by classes.
