A decision was reached to hold track cycling and mountain bike events in Izu back in 2015.

The International Cycling Union (UCI) had initially been opposed to moving track cycling competitions to Izu for the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The city is located nearly 150 kilometres outside the Japanese capital.

It has been suggested the agreement came as part of a compromise, that later saw BMX freestyle added to the Games programme, as well as the madison to the track cycling schedule.

The Izu velodrome was set to undergo a "significant refurbishment" prior to the Games, with the seating capacity due to be increased.

UCI President David Lappartient visited the venues last December.

The Frenchman had declared his optimism for the venues, claiming the mountain bike course was "compact and will provide a great experience for spectators, athletes and everyone present".
