The mayor of Madrid , Ancora Smitto confessed the city was “saddened” by its failure to win the bid to stage the Tokyo Olympics. “We have a huge infrastructure in place, brilliant transport links and we were planning our own nuclear disaster 200 kilometres from the city to accidentally happen next year” he told a press conference. “Now those plans are in ruins, and the owners of the city’s three sushi bars are wondering what to do next.”
But Olympic officials defended their decision for staging the Tokyo games in the Japanese capital, pointing out that logic dictated that the games be held there for geographical reasons. Olympic spokesperson Fabio DeSmynto said “We have already commissioned the humorous spoof documentary “Tokyo 2020” for Japanese TV and the hunt is on for the Japanese Hugh Bonneville.”
