Skyscrapers soar above the roof of the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium as the rubble of Japan's National Stadium demolished for the renovation for the 2020 Olympic games is collected at one corner of the vacant site shown to the media for the first time after the completion of the demolition work in Tokyo Monday, Nov. 16, 2015. Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe scrapped the original plan for a new stadium to replace one used for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics in July, saying it was too costly. The design by Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid raised protests from many in Tokyo who objected to its massive size, cost and ultra-modern shape. The selection of a new stadium design is due by the end of this year. (Photo by Koji Sasahara/AP Photo)
