ご存知のごとく2020年夏季五輪の招致に向け、最終候補の3都市がスイスのローザンヌ国際オリンピック委員会の委員に対するプレゼンテーションを行った。プレゼンはclosed-doorだったということです。つまり、報道陣に非公開で行われたのですね。(Nat)
Candidate cities present 2020 Olympic bids to IOC

Representatives of the three cities vying to host the 2020 Summer Olympic Games are presenting their bids to the International Olympic Committee in Lausanne, Switzerland.

 Closed-door presentations by teams from Tokyo, Istanbul and Madrid began on Wednesday.

The Turkish delegates made the first pitch, followed by the Japanese team.

Tokyo's bid described the city as safe, secure and advanced. The IOC released a report last month praising these aspects of Japan's capital.

Tokyo's 6 presenters included Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Taro Aso. He took part in the 1976 Montreal Games as a skeet shooter.

 IOC members will make their decision at a general meeting in September.
