Surprised to see Paris lose again, especially since they've bid twice in the recent past and come up short. Now with this high-profile European games, they'll probably have to wait until around 2028 to get a summer games. Promote this thread! |  | JoshMann

It's just as well...UWO's stadium can only seat about 8,000 or so anyway. :)

| #4 Posted on 6.7.05 1128.31 Reposted on: 6.7.12 1128.58 | I knew that NY was more or less out of the running, but I'm still breathing a sigh of relief. This city is difficult on its best day and often unmanagable in the summer. I can't fathom what it would be like with Olympics in it. | Omar Padilla

I'm sure London's Olympic victory is solely due to David Beckham's sudden decison to completely ignore that fact that he plays for Real Madrid and vouch for his real home country's final bid with the IOC. | messenoir
