2013年9月10日「モバイル英語学習]第200号(エッセイ): Tokyo wins race to host 2020 Olympic Games!

*******************
Sunday night NHK suddenly changed its schedule, and my favorite TV program was canceled. I wasn’t really surprised. I knew that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) had chosen Tokyo as the city to hold the Summer Olympic Games in 2020. People all over Japan were cheering. They also showed old film of Tokyo before the 1964 Olympics. It’s amazing how much Tokyo has changed! Monday, there was another piece of good news. The IOC decided to keep wrestling as an Olympic sport. Unfortunately, neither baseball/softball nor squash will be in the 2016 Olympic games. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
