Tokyo, July 24 (QNA) - Japanese organizers revealed Friday the emblem of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, five years to the day before the opening ceremony.
The emblem is based on "T", standing for Tokyo, tomorrow, and team. It was designed by Japanese artist Kenjiro Sato. The ceremony at Tokyo City Hall and was attended by Tokyo organizing committee president Yoshiro Mori, Tokyo governor Yoichi Masuzoe and IOC vice president John Coates.
Tokyo's preparations have been bogged down lately by the controversy over a new National Stadium. After initially selecting a design by award-winning architect Zaha Hadid, the Japanese government scrapped those plans because costs pushed the price of the stadium to $2 billion. (QNA)
