Pandemic controversies, scandals and red ink after a year-long delay may make it tougher to attract cities to host future games

The Tokyo Olympics will no doubt be remembered like no other after it opened July 23 in a mostly empty stadium following an unprecedented one-year delay caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

With a colorful but subdued ceremony, the games began amid a mixture of excitement and fear of a virus resurgence in Tokyo.

For the Japanese government, the success of the Olympics also has political and economic implications.
