A Tokyo government panel is proposing moving events for the 2020 Summer Olympics as far as 270 miles from the city in order to save money, reports Kyodo news agency.
According to the report, a panel commissioned by the Tokyo metropolitan government are set to review the cost of the games and details of that meeting will be made public on Thursday.
Volleyball, swimming, rowing and canoe sprint are among the sports that are up for review and could be moved out of the city.
No change would be made without the approval of the International Olympic Committee and each individual international sports federation.
