Tokyo governor says Olympics worth the cost, Paralympics key

TOKYO (Reuters) - Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike on Thursday defended the cost of hosting the 2020 Olympic Games, saying the Paralympics in particular would build a legacy by creating better accessibility for Japan's rapidly aging society.

Koike had taken Olympics organisers to task after her election three years ago, saying the Games budget was in danger of ballooning and ordering a review of costs and facilities.
