In this brief review on the progress of applications to the 2016 Olympics here I am, exactly 10 years from here. The selection will take place in 2009, the 121st IOC session, scheduled for Copenhagen, while the applications, including the 5 finalists will be selected, must be received by 2007.
Since the 2012 Games went to London, it seems very unlikely that the ideas again a European, and that is why Rome can apply as well, leaving (hopefully for real this time) the open road in Milan for a future candidacy. In the short history of Italian itenzioni Milan express its intentions in mid-2005, Rome is queued, in January 2006, the IOC president Gianni Petrucci, choose the capital. In Milan, is promised to the proposal for World Expo 2015, which should challenge Smyrna.
In the months since the candidacy of Rome seems to fail for lack of political will, but in October the two motions to the bipartisan House and Senate are approved by committing the government to raise the necessary funds. All useless anyway: the 2016 Olympics will not be in Italy nor in Europe, also saw the progress of the proposals. According to the Minister Melandri, 80% of Romans are supportive of the Olympics in the capital by force: "We organize a great and peaceful party in your home, shall we?" Who could say no? But one thing is the idea is one thing to the participation and sincerely for the time being I think the enthusiasm aroused little .. So I ask if it is even from Rome will arrive in the final 5.
The favored nation are certainly the U.S. and in particular I vote Chicago: city of great sporting tradition and studies for organizations fattiblità forefront. They are studying a number of Olympic experience past and future and have the best project for me. His opponent for the nomination of the U.S. Olympic Committee is Los Angeles, but I think Chicago is slightly ahead. The two cities are taking very different plans: Chicago on new structures, while Los Angeles on those pre-existing (already organized the 1932 and 1984 Games and its Olympic stadium could become the first to host three editions) and the involvement of ' metropolitan area. Given the
magneficienza you are using in Beijing seems to me that the idea of \u200b\u200bnew plants is far more fascinating and Chicago has not even dropped the Ace can: Michael Jordan as a testimonial? Magic may be for LA? touch ... but we are still in the 90s?
In reality there would also be in the final USA San Francisco, but his candidacy seems to have sunk when the 49ers decided to abandon the city and build a new stadium. Lately there has been a revival of the organizing committee, but in a race so close the gap would be difficult to fill.
The choice between the three will take place in early 2007.
And we briefly to the other official candidates, with pros and cons (all IMHO of course):
-Rio de Janeiro PRO is a candidate all the time, hosts the Pan-American 2007. AGAINST: city too chaotic to be given to organizing the Games in 10 animals only.
-Monterrey, PRO: very strong locally. CONS: lack of power in Mexico the CIO (especially without U.S. support), real doubts about the ability to compete with other cities.
-Tokyo; PRO: hyper city, has already successfully organized. AGAINST: North Korea's opposition, which threatened a boycott, Olympics in Asia in 2008. It remains for me the main enemy of America.
-New Delhi; PRO: hosting the Commonwealth Games 2010. AGAINST: first Olympic bid, doubts about sustainability.
-Doha PRO is hosting the Asian Games, very wide budget. CONS: the first day of the Asian city has gone haywire because of rain in the summer there are 47 degrees in the shade.
-Madird; PRO is a candidate all the time, support popular. CONS: is European.
My prediction for the final
-USA (Chicago or alternatively LA)-Tokyo
-Doha-Madrid-Rio de Janeiro
Other cities / nations have indicated a desire for candidacy, but so far without Following: Argentina, Chile, Dubai (Dubai Sports City for the sheikhs), Hamburg, Leipzig, Kenya, Montreal, Lisbon, Rotterdam, St Petersburg, Tel Aviv, Thailand, Cape Town, Durban, Istanbul, Havana, Baku. Other
have already withdrawn: Philadelphia and Houston (eliminated from the National Committee), Milan and Turin (ditto), Tijuana (ditto) Fukuoka and Sapporo (ditto ditto ditto), Moscow, Brussels, San Diego and Baltimore.
