Tokyo
THE chief organiser of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics has expressed confidence the Games will overcome their "hurdles" after a series of problems, including a French inquiry into the bidding process. "Preparations are going smoothly," Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games CEO Toshiro Muto told AFP. "It's important to overcome hurdles one by one."
Tokyo has lurched from one crisis to another since beating Madrid and Istanbul in the race to host the Games, the low point coming when Prime Minister Shinzo Abe scrapped plans for the main stadium last July over its US$2-billion price tag.
