TOKYO -- Tokyo Olympic organizers agreed Wednesday to hold some of the baseball and softball competition of the 2020 Games in Fukushima, the region devastated by the 2011 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster.While the primary venue for baseball and softball is expected to be Yokohama Stadium, several cities in Fukushima are being considered for games in the preliminary rounds.Holding Olympic events in the disaster-affected areas could send a powerful message of reconstruction.Fukushima Governor Masao Uchibori met with organizing committee president Yoshiro Mori on Wednesday.We will now work with the organizing committee to decide on the location and do everything we can to make the event a success in Fukushima Prefecture, Uchibori said.International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach met with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe last month and suggested staging some events in the area.Riccardo Fraccari, president of the World Baseball Softball Confederation, is scheduled to visit Japan next week for an inspection tour.Tokyo organizing committee spokeswoman Hikariko Ono said the IOC will make a final decision on the location in Fukushima Prefecture at its Dec. 6-8 executive board meeting.Baseball and softball were dropped from the Olympics after Beijing 2008 but are among five sports added to the program for the Tokyo Games.

BERLIN -- A British mountaineer who climbed Switzerlands Matterhorn says he is the first quadruple amputee to reach the iconic peak.The claim couldnt be verified with certainty, but was backed by the warden of the Hoernli Hut base camp, who said he knew of nobody else whod achieved the feat.Jamie Andrew lost his hands and feet to frostbite after becoming trapped in a snowstorm while mountaineering in France 17 years ago.He spent five years training before attempting to reach the 4,478-meter (14,692-feet) Alpine summit last Thursday with two seasoned guides from the International School of Mountaineering.In the end, climbing the mountain was the easy bit. It was all the graft and preparation, and trial and error (that was hardest), Andrew told The Associated Press by phone from Switzerland.After losing his limbs, Andrew had to learn to walk again and eventually took up skiing and long-distance running before returning to his first passion -- mountaineering.Withh the help of robust prostheses and specially adapted poles, he was able to ascend much of the way toward the peak.dddddddddddd When he needed to climb, Andrew said he used what remains of his arms to hold onto the rope.The 47-year-old took almost 13 hours to reach the summit and return to the base camp -- about five hours longer than most climbers.Kurt Lauber, a Swiss mountain guide and warden of the Hoernli Hut, confirmed the ascent.I dont know of any other such case, he said.Lauber applauded the achievement, but cautioned against underestimating the Matterhorn, noting that Andrews team only reached the camp at 7 p.m., narrowly missing a bout of bad weather in which two other Britons climbing on the Italian side of the mountain were killed.It would be wrong for people who arent disabled to now get the impression its easy, he said.
