Head of the tokyo 2020 international olympics committee inspectorate, John coates has suggested that the games could end up being the greatest ever.
Coates who is also Australia’s Olympic chief cited the examples of positive summer games that followed the two world wars of the 20th century.
Coates said he thought Tokyo could surpass even the reputation of the 2000 sydney games, which he helped organise and were described by then IOC Chief, Juan Antonio Samaranch as “the best olympic games ever”
The Tokyo games were postponed for a year to 2021 in the aftermath of the new coronavirus outbreak.
