Only 100 days to wait
The official Countdown Clock was unveiled today marking the run down from 100 days to the decision on which city will host the Olympic and Parlympic Games for 2016.
Will Tokyo be the winner in 2016 ? It’s too early to tell, but by the time the clock ticks down to 0 we will find out.
On hand today for the official countdown were official members of the Tokyo 2016 Bid campaign as well as Saori Yoshida, the Japanese 2004 and 2008 Gold Medalist in wrestling.

The Countdown Clock is located on the 1st floor of the Tokyo Kokusai Forum. Nearest station is Yurakucho.

The Tokyo Kokusai Forum is planned as the site for the Weightlifting competition in 2016 if the Tokyo 2016 Bid is successful.
What will you be doing over the next 100 days ? Are you also counting down to something big ?

At first, I thought this would be a good thing. Yet, after considering all points I now feel that this is not good for Tokyo.
