2016 Olympics

[Cindy's Mom]

Chicago, Los Angeles and San Fran are still in the running.....Houston and Philly have been asked to step aside.

I hope we get it!!!

While I would LOVE to go in 08 to China, and 12 to London, it is highly unlikely! It would be nice if it were somewhere in the U.S. I will take advantage of it. I should have went when it was in Park City for the winter games, still kicking myself for that one!

Chicago, LA, and SF are all capable of hosting an outstanding Olympic Games. It would be great to have the Games in the USA again. Of the three, SF is the city with the most international appeal, but their previous Olympic bid was hurt by venues spread across a large geographic area. The IOC much prefers venues that are in close proximity to each other and thus easily accessible to commuters. LA has hosted two very successful Games (1932 and 1984) and could certainly do so again. Chicago would be a gorgeous setting for the Games and could probably prepare a bid offering a tight cluster of venues. It will be exciting to watch!

I hope Chicago gets the olympics,too!! Tho traffic would definitely be a nightmare!!
In my opinion, I really think this is why Daley wanted Chicago to host the Gay Games last week. To show that he can organize an event like that, to practice for the real olympics.
