A mind-boggling number for Tokyo 2020, I made it official one year after the conclusion of the Japanese Olympics. The cost of organizing the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, held in 2021 after a year of delay, was set at 1,423 billion yen, equivalent to just over 10 billion dollars.
The initial project listed by the Tokyo committee in 2013, when it was still only a candidate city, was worth around 734 billion yen, equivalent to 5.3 billion dollars. This was ascertained by the Olympic committee at the end of a verification communicated during the last executive meeting, whose dissolution is expected at the end of the month.
The initial cost forecast for the Games was 1.644 billion yen, and the reduction of 220 billion yen. Now, a year later, it will be necessary to assess the use of the facilities built for the event, and the promotion of new sporting events in Tokyo.
According to the final statistics, 11,420 athletes participated in the Summer Olympics, in addition to 4,403 para-athletes at the Paralympics. The absence of crowds and tourists, due to anti-Covid measures, deprived the organizers of earning 90 billion yen, approximately 650 million dollars.
We recall that last year Olympic Games was postponed for the covid-19 global pandemic.
