Why do I suspect that Tokyo will continue to keep on bidding for the Olympics even after they lose out again.

Hope they don't get asked how much Japan spends on it's para-athletes. Next to nothing according to a friend who is a JOC delegate.

Actually I would hope that they DO get asked. It would be just one more strike against them for talking a good game but then not supporting the athletes. I dont know how true it is but I've heard people around me say that the Japanese government does little to support any of the athletes that compete in the Olympics.
