To the surprise of no one, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics are going massively over budget
2020年日本奥运会花费超出预算4倍
日本可能会为2020年夏季奥运会花费250亿美元以上。这个数字是2013年预算的四倍左右。
Since that 2016 estimate, the IOC has adopted what it’s calling “the New Norm,” a series of reforms designed to reduce the cost of staging the Olympics. But that plan won’t go into full effect until the 2024 Paris Olympics, meaning Tokyo organizers mostly have to handle cost overruns themselves. It seems they are struggling: According to a report released this week by the national government’s Board of Audit and reviewed by the Associated Press, Japan is likely to spend at least $25 billion and possibly more for the 2020 Games. That figure is nearly four times the original 2013 estimate and more than double the number that was thrown out just 10 months ago, when the Tokyo organizing committee said the Olympic budget was about $12 billion.
