Tokyo is Hosting the 2020 Olympic Games! by: Shadden Hashem

        Tokyo has officially been chosen by the International Olympic Committee to host the 2020 Summer  Olympic Games! The two other contenders were Madrid and Istanbul, but Tokyo was chosen over these two by the committee. Tokyo hosted the Summer Games one other time in 1964. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is so happy and overjoyed and wants to thank the world for its support after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami that devastated parts of Japan.
      I am personally so excited that the olympics will be hosted in Japan the year of 2020! I will definitely watch the games on tv an maybe even in person!

  4. The opening ceremonies will probably be one of the best in years, I hope SNK is still popular enough to have its theme played, but I'm almost certain it will have a strong influence from Studio Ghilbi
