TOKYO -- Olympic organizers agreed Tuesday to keep the rowing, canoe sprint and swimming venues at their planned sites in Tokyo for the 2020 Games, while postponing a decision until Christmas on a possible switch for volleyball.Representatives of the International Olympic Committee, Tokyo organizers and Japans central and city governments have been discussing ways of reducing costs, including possibly moving three sports from planned new venues to existing ones.The group was established in October after a Tokyo government panel said the Olympics cost could exceed 3 trillion yen ($27 billion) unless drastic cuts were made.At Tuesdays four-party talks, Tokyo organizing committee CEO Toshiro Muto proposed putting a 2 trillion yen ($18 billion) cap on total Olympic costs. A final budget has yet to be released.IOC vice president John Coates, who heads the international bodys coordination commission for Tokyo, said the ceiling was too high.The IOC has not agreed to that amount of money, Coates told reporters.We believe the cost can be significantly lower than that, he added, citing high figures on the rent. We can make some savings on those figures.The Tokyo panel had initially proposed moving the rowing and canoe sprint venue, currently planned at the Sea Forest in Tokyo, to Miyagi prefecture, 400 kilometers (250 miles) north of Tokyo, after its cost estimate soared to nearly 50 billion yen ($450 million). A new feasibility study shows the cost could come down to around 30 billion yen ($270 million).Considering the cost, location and various other factors, we have decided to hold (the rowing and canoeing) at the planned Sea Forest site, Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike said.Koike proposed using the Naganuma boat facility, which she had considered as an option, as a training facility ahead of the Tokyo Games. Koike had pushed for the Naganuma facility, which is in the area still recovering from the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, as a symbol of reconstruction, which she says gives significance to holding the Olympics in Japan in 2020.A new swimming facility at its planned location, Tatsumi in eastern Tokyo, will have seating capacity reduced from 20,000 to 15,000, saving 14 billion yen ($125 million).Koike said she still needs time to decide whether to move indoor volleyball to Yokohama Arena instead of building a new arena in Tokyos coastal Ariake district. She said the estimated 40 billion yen ($360 million) cost of the Tokyo venue is still very high, promising a decision by Christmas -- a delay the group accepted.Christophe Dubi, the IOCs executive director of the Olympic Games, said a venue change would require a lot of work and would be ambitious, hinting the likelihood of volleyball also staying in Tokyo.Cost estimates at a number of venues have surged since Tokyo was awarded the games in 2013, in part due to rising construction costs related to disaster reconstruction.Koike repeatedly cited the IOCs Agenda 2020 reforms that seek sustainable Olympics and encourage the use of existing venues, not just in Japan but universally, saying her effort is fully in line with them. Concerns over costs have discouraged some cities from bidding.---Follow Mari Yamaguchi on Twitter at https://www.twitter.com/mariyamaguchiFind her work at http://bigstory.ap.org/content/mari-yamaguchi Jason Kidd Jersey .

Yogi Ferrell Jersey . LOUIS -- St. The England & Wales Cricket Board has announced that it will be doubling its investment in Chance to Shine, the cricket charity that was founded in 2005 to address the decline of the sport in state schools.Following a decade of pioneering work in the grassroots game, during which time more than 3 million schoolchildren have been introduced to cricket, the ECB yesterday announced that, from October 2017, at least £2.5m will be donated annually to Chance to Shine, with a further £500,000 to be made available for matched funding.According to Luke Swanson, Chance to Shines chief executive, the extra investment will targeted on primary schools, with the aim of reaching an additional 200,000 children a year. This places the charity right at the heart of the ECBs game-wide strategy, as spelt out through their framework, Cricket Unleashed, to inspire more people, especially families, to get involved with cricket.When we work in primary schools, we have the opportunity to introduce the game to every child irrespective of background, gender or parental involvement, said Swanson. In a primary school, cricket has the chance to reach the whole community, and give kids of all backgrounds the chance to play together.Matt Dwyer, the ECBs director of participation and growth, said that the timing of the announcement was designed to maximise the opportunity that the sport has in the coming years to reconnect the sport with its public. With the Champions Trophy and Womens World Cup coming up on home soil next year, followed by the mens World Cup and the Ashes in 2019, the drive to attract new players and supporters begins now.It is not just about seeingg cricket survive, its about seeing cricket thrive for generations, he said.dddddddddddd As a game we are very much focused on inspiring that next generation, and taking cricket to classrooms and playgrounds across the country.We believe cricket is uniquely placed to enrich the lives of young people, whether that be through the development of nine of the 10 fundamental movements skills, the fact that we are the only sport that incorporates our values into the official rules of the game, or the fact that cricket can deliver so many in-class curriculum outcomes.Cricket has the ability to inspire kids in our communities in a way like no other and we will do that together with Chance to Shine.The funding boost was announced by Colin Graves, the ECB chairman, during Chance to Shines annual awards dinner at Lords on Wednesday evening, following a coaching session at St Mary and St Peters Primary School in south-west London, attended by the England batsman, Sam Billings.Every career starts at the bottom level so its fundamental that these kids get the chance to play many sports, especially cricket, said Billings. In many schools around the country its football dominated, cricket is not on the curriculum.Certainly in Bangladesh with England we had this conversation. I think its about a 50/50 split in terms of who went to state and independent schools, and club cricket plays a massive role too in getting that relationship right. Club cricket was a great benefit to me growing up but again, it starts with the schools. ' ' '
