ARCHITECT Zaha Hadid will take another crack at designing Tokyo's 2020 Olympics stadium, her Japanese business partner said on Monday, after an initial proposal was scrapped due to its eye-watering US$2 billion price tag.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe shocked Olympic organisers in July when he pulled the plug on the Iraqi-British architect's winning design as soaring costs put it on course to become the world's most expensive sports stadium.
