In London, work is already ongoing on the technology that will lay the foundations for the 2012 Olympics. In Toyko, the city bidding to host the 2016 Games, technology of a very different stripe is taking centre stage.
Cheerleading the bid is this robot - a towering 18-metre-tall creature designed to draw attention to the city's Olympic aspirations.
The Gundam robot is already proving popular and has attracted more than one million visitors in the last three weeks.
