FILE - In this Dec. 22, 2015 file photo, Japanese architect Kengo Kuma speaks during a press conference after his design for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic stadium was picked in Tokyo. The cost of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics is nearly twice the initial estimate despite a major cost-cutting effort. A major reason is that cities exclude large amounts of associated costs when they bid to host the Olympics. Tokyo Olympic organizers announced this week that the estimated cost is now 1.4 trillion yen ($12.6 billion). The bid estimate was 730 billion yen ($6.6 billion). (AP Photo/Shizuo Kambayashi, File)
