After being delayed by one year due to the unexpected pandemic, the Tokyo Olympics will be like no other when they open on July 23. And they’ll have an idiosyncratic Olympic Village to match.

From recyclable cardboard beds to fever clinics, Tokyo 2020 organisers threw open the doors of the Olympic Village for showcasing coronavirus upgrades just over a month before Tokyo 2020 began.

Applying strict virus guidelines, athletes will be tested daily and required to wear masks except during competition, eating and sleeping. And there will be no partying, officials warned.

Take a look at the images from inside the Tokyo Olympic Village where the 2020 Olympics game will begin on July 23.

Beds are made from recyclable cardboard, but are tough enough to stand up to beefy weightlifters and towering basketball players, organisers say.

Olympic officials expect most of those staying in the village will have been vaccinated.
