IOC gets official look at simplification for Tokyo Olympics
Share this contentTOKYO: The IOC and local organisers are trying to “simplify” the postponed Tokyo Olympics, promising to save money in what one study says is already the most expensive Summer Olympics on record.
“We have many measures, and sometimes they look small. But when you take them all together it will represent a large result in terms of both simplification and hopefully ... produce some significant savings,” Christophe Dubi, the IOC executive director for the Olympic Games, said late last month when the plans were presented in Tokyo.Dubi said a search for more cuts would continue.
Organising committee CEO Toshiro Muto acknowledged last month for the first time that some sponsors have backed out in the midst of a slumping economy, the pandemic, and uncertainty around the Olympics really happening.READ: Tokyo Olympics will go ahead 'with or without COVID': IOC vice president
