Tokyo’s preparedness for the 2020 Games is not as good as claimed at the time of the bidding after actual preparations started.

SHOCKED!!!! Please say it isn't so -- Abe and Japan over-stating something?

Considering recent Olympics and other recent World-sport events, WHAT country REALLY has been prepared???.............................. Come-on !!!!!!.............. Japan has 6 years to go . . Stop all this negativity .................. Honestly . . or is it Japanese perfectionism??????????????? .....................Japan will deliver, and then some !!!!

TRANSLATION: More money, please.

Mr Abe lives in "fairytale land"... Japan should never have been awarded the Olympics in the first place and not only because of all the Fukushima "cover ups" but Japanese summer is hardly a suitable time for any kind sports. Please send the games to Madrid or Istanbul !

Not surprised, but they will still get it done in time.

According to the "minuses" it would appear some people don't care how their tax money is being spent...

There isn't an Olympic host city out there that hasn't experienced some degree of "Oh, god, what have we gotten ourselves into?" shock after the euphoria of being awarded the Games wears off. This Negative Nelly nonsense 6 years away makes ittle sense and serves even fewer purposes. I have no doubt in my mind that Japan will be fully prepared for 2020. Over-budget? Probably. But Japan will most certainly be on time.

When I start seeing things like venues not yet completed mere days before the opening ceremony, a la the Brazil World Cup mess, then I'll be surprised.
