adminTOKYO. — The people of Tokyo have spent the past two weeks watching the Olympics with increasing confidence that the myriad problems that have dogged the Games will make Rio an easy act to follow.
Though Japan’s road to hosting the next Summer Games in 2020 has been marred by its own share of embarrassments, the feeling is that Tokyo’s woes pale in comparison to those of the South American metropolis. There, tourists, officials and athletes have had to dodge the scenic city’s notorious street crime and violence, while structural problems inside the Olympic Village have also been a challenge. Tokyo citizens, while too polite to criticise the current hosts directly, are upbeat about their city performing better. — AFP.
