notwithstanding that the organizers take no account of the athletes' opinion, i am happy to have it stay if the organizers agree all costs in excess of the original estimate will be borne out of the organizers' pockets, and not tokyo's. no problem since they say it will cost less.

"But Tokyo organizers spelled out their objections to that proposal on Wednesday, arguing the venue should remain at the Sea Forest Waterway."
Of COURSE they did! How else are they going to get the money they were offered, and promised the companies, in the bid-rigging Japan is infamous for? I don't imagine the Yaks will take it well if their promises are rescinded, not to mention everyone suffers... well, by that I mean all the people who stand to profit. And by that I mean the organisers with their vested interests in the companies that have been drooling about the potential profits -- the people certainly won't benefit from the collusion.

Not Miyagi but between Osaka and Tokyo where people can afford to watch games.
