    **Tokyo readies for final 2016 Olympic pitch **

    It will come up short, just as Prime Minister Hatoyama's did in Pittsburgh today.

    Pitch it in the bin. Bad idea, bad timing, sayonara Ishihara.

    why reward Ishihara for his racist remarks etc. Most people in Tokyo still stare at any and all foreigners who walk down the street. Sad but this little racist state we call Japan has no business holding the Olympics. 1960 was more modern than current Japan who is lagging behind everyone in ever sense.

    I hope for Tokyo's sake that the 'pitch' is an envelope chalk full of Euros.

    world’s second-largest economy.

    Third, the EU is the largest economy, America is second.

    Screw Ishihara. Any other city would be fine with me.

    EU is not a country, so it does not count

    I would say this is a resounding NO!! I think it was a joke Japan even trying to win this. Not the mention the latest Kidnapping incident which pretty much makes this D.O.A.! Better luck next time Japan but might be a good idea to first overhaul your entire social structure first. Oh wait a minute naa that won't work. Oh well xenophobes to the rescue. Hell they never wanted it anyways lol.
