The Tokyo Olympics should become an opportunity to rethink the enormous scale and expense of the world’s largest sports spectacle, the president of the Japanese Olympic Committee said.
Yasuhiro Yamashita, himself an Olympic judo gold medalist, was speaking just over three weeks ahead of the opening ceremony for Tokyo 2020, which follows a costly delay due to the pandemic.
“This could be a chance to rethink how huge the Olympics have become,” Yamashita told reporters in Tokyo. “Rather than being extravagant and costly, the Olympics will need to change to survive. I hope this will be a turning point.”
