Inspectors from the International Olympic Committee ended their tour of Tokyo on Sunday. The city is one of several being considered for the 2016 Games. Tokyo is the only one of the candidates to have hosted the Summer Games before. The event in 1964 helped Japan become an economic superpower, but now in a new century, it's not the economy, but the environment which the city is pushing.
Tokyo, competing against Chicago, Madrid and Rio de Janeiro, is the second stop on the Evaluation Commission's schedule after Chicago. The IOC will vote on the host city at Copenhagen on Oct. 2.
