Who else had bid ?
Madrid and Istanbul.
Considering the problems facing both, I'd say Tokyo was the right choice.

I'd imagine Tokyo would do it well .
I was in Japan for the 2002 World Cup and it was a marvelous experience.

If Sepp Bladder was involved in the decision I bet Qatar would have a chance of the Winter Olympics.
Got to be the right choice they will make a good job of it

Wonder what Tokyo's 'Olympic legacy' will be?
Access to quality sporting facilities and coaching only for kids with parents able to afford it?, or will they try something diffferent I wonder? You know, something like free sporting opportunities for all, regardless of income. Or will that be too simple a dream I wonder?
I can't wait to see the outcomes. It's going to be oh so exciting.

If they can air con an outdoor stadium I'm sure they can manufacture snow and keep it frozen at 40deg. Well they can until their bid has been accepted and they're given the games

Shit choice. They're 11 hours ahead so everything will be on in the middle of the night or early morning.
The track cycling won't be a GB cake walk.

Thank god they never held Olympics in, say, Sydney then.
Has anyone ever seen a disabled Japanese person? Do they have them over there?
Just thinking about the Paralympics, obviously.
