We are looking forward to having the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.

Careful, Istanbul already have a sixty trick against you, and so does Madrid

Oops...dirty trick

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

It took London 100 years to repeat

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.
