Olympics Thread

The final fight is taking place. Less than 100 days to know the name of the winner city, and the candidates are doing it well. Unfortunately for the other four, everybody knows that Madrid is the BEST city, that will organize the greatest games, even greater than Barcelona. And it is because we, the Spanish people, know very well how must these things be done.

We've gotta win! We NEED win! We Shall Win!

In less than 10 kilometers, the 95% of activities, 2 airports, 2 train stations, one of the best Metro infraestructures in the world, sun, tapas and Tias Buenas! The best F-1 pilot this year is not spanish "casually". The best Waterpole player ever is also Spanish. One of the best Handball players ever, Urdangarên, is Spanish, too. He's, in adittion, a memeber of the royal family. And, the whole royal family plays sports.

Well, WHO do you SEE as THE BEST now?


**Edited: If we win, and somebody of you all comes here, I'll pay a beer round!

What are the other cities? London, Moscow and...?

p.s. all what you said is good but you are not going to host better olympics than we hosted

Imo the athens opening ceremony was the best i've seen (some say the sydney) .For the 2008 olympics,i'd like to see the olympics in Donald trump's New york

^yeah. Athens' Opening and the Games were fantastic.
2008 Olympics host is already decided. They will be held in Beijing. You must have meant 2012. Candidates for 2012 games are atleast Paris, London, Madrid, Moscow and New York. I'd like to see them in Moscow or Madrid.

I understand that you have to think that, but I believe that you haven't seen the Barcelona Olympic games...

In the words of Samaranch, the best games ever. And Madrid, on the paper, seems better than Barcelona... (yup, Nuaro, better, too )

CIO warns London and NY


The Regularity Commitee of CIO is investigating possible illegal gifts of these candidatures to some CIO members. It seems, London and NY offered free rooms, tickets and other gifts to the CIO electors if one of them were the elected.
