Olympic Notes: Japan Dismisses Plagiarism Claims Over 2020 Logo

Tokyo Olympics organizers said that there is "no problem with their new logo after discussions arose about possible plagiarism," with Internet commentators suggesting there was a resemblance to an overseas design. The emblem, unveiled last week, had "already received mixed reviews from the Japanese public and risks becoming the latest in a series of missteps" to mar Japan's reputation as it prepares to host the Summer Games for the second time in '20 (REUTERS, 7/30). ... IOC President Thomas Bach said that Japan's "ditching of a showpiece stadium will trim its Olympic budget" by more than $2B when combined with other savings. The IOC will monitor the development of a new stadium "from the very start" to make sure it remains "state of the art" for spectators and athletes (AFP, 7/30).
