Approach Solution -2
Recalling the outcome of the IOC's 2013 vote for the 2020 host city settles this directly.
- Option 1 (St Petersburg): This city was not among the finalist bids for the 2020 Games.
- Option 2 (Tokyo): Tokyo won the International Olympic Committee's vote in 2013, securing the right to host the 2020 Summer Olympics.
- Option 3 (Madrid): Madrid was one of the finalist bidding cities but was eliminated before the final round.
- Option 4 (Istanbul): Istanbul also competed in the final round of bidding but lost out to Tokyo.
Among the finalists, Tokyo secured the winning vote, matching option 2.
Hence, the correct answer is Tokyo.
