THE head of the International Olympic Committee says Tokyo should not be discouraged from bidding for the 2020 Olympics just because South Korea has won the right to host the 2018 Winter Olympics.
Citing several examples, like Athens in 2004 and Turin in 2006, IOC president Jacques Rogge pointed out the IOC has no formal opposition to hosting successive games on the same continent.
Speaking at a press conference today, Rogge said "there is a perception that there is an automatic rotation of countries but this is not the case."
Tokyo, which lost out to Rio de Janeiro in the race to host the 2016 Olympics, is expected to announce a formal bid for 2020 this week.
