Tokyo has been chosen to host the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The Japanese capital won the final round of voting by International Olympic Committee members in Buenos Aires to beat Istanbul by 60-36 votes. Madrid had earlier been eliminated in a first-round ballot. Japan got the events after two years of intense lobbying.The announcement was met with jubilant scenes in Japan, as Tokyo prepares to host the event for the first time since 1964. When IOC president Jacques Rogge who will retire after 12 years in the role on Tuesday announced the winning city, the Tokyo delegation jumped to their feet in celebration and waved the Japanese flag. A number of them were overcome with emotion and wept.
