Cost over-runs, corruption and Covid all tarnished Japanese public's memory of the Tokyo Olympics
Tokyo – Japan is still grappling with the fallout of the graft-stained and pandemic-delayed Tokyo 2020 Olympics, serving as a warning to Paris ahead of the Games this summer in the French capital.
But Yamaguchi, who stepped down from the board just before the Olympics, said the gap between expectations and reality left people "wondering who the event was for". The Games went off without major incident but will be remembered as one of the strangest in Olympic history because of anti-virus measures that included fans being barred from all but a handful of venues.
A panel investigating the doomed bid found that officials had not done a good enough job of explaining costs and the benefits of hosting the Olympics to local people. The central city of Nagoya will host the 2026 Asian Games, although that decision was taken in 2016.Yamaguchi says it will be "quite a while" before Japan will have enough public support to make another Olympic bid.
