Tokyo Olympic

Tokyo Olympic organizers say it will likely be next year before the official cost of the Games is published. Toshiro Muto, the CEO of the Games, says it's possible preliminary numbers might be known by December.

Unsourced reports in Japan say 56-year-old Olympic Minister Seiko Hashimoto will be offered the position of President of the Tokyo Olympics committee.

An executive board member of the Tokyo Olympic organizing committee says another delay should be sought if the games can't be held next year.

President of Tokyo Olympics Yoshiro Mori called a news conference to shoot down the comments. He says “there is no plan now to change our plans.”

The International Olympic Committee moved next year’s Tokyo Olympic marathons and race walks out of the Japanese capital to avoid the stifling heat and humidity.

The new "second-chance" lottery is being organized on short notice because of unprecedented demand in Japan. Demand is believed to be at least 10 times over supply.
