TOKYO: The Tokyo 2020 Olympics are expected to cost about 1.35 trillion yen , organisers said on Friday , unveiling a final budget showing increased revenue balancing out extra costs including countermeasures against heat.

The overall 1.35-trillion-yen budget for the Games is unchanged since the last version of the budget unveiled last year. "We will go into it line-by-line and we will interact with the IOC on a daily basis," he told reporters. But Tokyo is also being squeezed in the other direction, with some sports voicing fears that the cuts could harm the athletes' experience plus the all-important"look" of the Games.
