TOKYO -- While Rio Olympic organizers are under immense pressure to finish preparations before Aug. 5, their Tokyo counterparts are already facing skyrocketing costs for an event four years away.Tokyo 2020 organizing committee president Yoshiro Mori acknowledged at an executive board meeting this week the cost of building seven temporary venues for the Olympics has surged to an estimated $2.6 billion, up from an initial estimate of $690 million.Mori said the original figures were the result of sloppy calculations which he blamed on the Tokyo metropolitan government and the Japanese Olympic Committee.The organizing committee hasnt disclosed an official estimate of the overall costs but has acknowledged it will be considerably higher than the $3.5 billion that was forecast in the bid.Preparations for the 2020 Games have been plagued by a series of scandals involving the new national stadium, the official logo and allegations of bribery in the bidding process.Work on the new national stadium has fallen behind schedule because the government abandoned an original design due to spiraling costs.The total costs for staging the Tokyo Olympics are shared by the organizing committee, the Tokyo municipal government and the national government.Tokyo organizers say they have saved more than $2 billion by working with the Tokyo government to cut costs by moving some events to existing facilities.

TORONTO -- Defenseman Dustin Byfuglien and forward Kyle Palmieri are the odd men out for the United States in its World Cup of Hockey opener against Team Europe.Coach John Tortorella announced his lineup shortly before Saturdays game, confirming also that goaltender Cory Schneider would not dress.Its just the way it worked out, Tortorella said. Certainly (not that) Buff and Kyle didnt do the things we were looking for them to do, but as we went through our lineup and the situations that we may get involved with: power play, penalty killing and all that, we felt this was our lineup to start the tournament.Scratching Byfuglien means the U.S. wont have his big shot on the power play. The decision comes after the Winnipeg Jets All-Star playeed forward in the final exhibition game.ddddddddddddTortorella said earlier in the week that Byfuglien better be a weapon on the power play.
