The official Olympic report, printed in Japanese from the 1940 Tokyo Olympics - an event that never went off due to the fact that Japan was focusing its military efforts to wage war in Asia. At the onset of WWII, several countries around the world were planning a boycott of the 1940 Olympic Games in Tokyo, in reaction to Japan's stance on world affairs, cancelling the Games altogether. Front cover (back cover in English) displays 5 Olympic rings branded into the green cloth. Inner contents include many photos of athletes and Olympic Committee members. EX-MT condition overall.
