(AP) — Tokyo will bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics
The Japanese Olympic Committee on Thursday notified the International Olympic Committee of its intention to offer Tokyo as a candidate to host the games.
JOC president Tsunekazu Takeda and Tokyo governor Shintaro Ishihara both submitted letters of intent to IOC president Jacques Rogge.
It is the first formal procedure in the process of making a bid for the Olympics with the IOC, which will select the winning city in 2009.

All candidate cities must submit initial bid files to the IOC by Sept. 13.
Other possible contenders include Rome; Prague, Czech Republic; Doha, Qatar, and Baku, Azerbaijan.
