Whenever it rolls around, the Olympic bid story travels to the front pages of the world's newspapers. Here are a few highlights from the streams of stories that were devoted to the winner of the 2020 Games.
• Veteran sports writer Philip Hersh of the Chicago Tribune has attended 15 Olympics, including nine Winter Games, during his distinguished career. And in his coverage of the IOC members' voting on Saturday, Hersh likened the Tokyo 2020 Bid Committee's approach to a well-known insurer's TV commercials.
"With a philosophy that seemed borrowed from Allstate commercials, Tokyo convinced the International Olympic Committee to give it the 2020 Summer Olympics," Hersh wrote.
