The cost of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics is nearly twice the initial estimate despite a major cost-cutting effort.

Tokyo Olympic organizers announced this week that the estimated cost is now 1.4 trillion yen ($12.6 billion). The bid estimate was 730 billion yen ($6.6 billion). (AP Photo/Shizuo Kambayashi, File)
