Figure skater Daisuke Takahashi and marathoner Yuko Arimori were among several past Olympians added to the list of runners in the 2020 Tokyo Games torch relay on Wednesday.

Arimori, who took silver at the 1992 Barcelona Games and bronze in Atlanta four years later, will carry the flame as it travels through her native Okayama Prefecture.

"It's a huge honor to be a torch bearer. The Olympic flame belongs to everyone, so I want to hold onto that feeling as I run," Arimori, 53, said.
