I am not bias because I'm Canadian lol, but no seriously I would love to see them in Chicago, I think that city could do wonders if they hosted it.

I don't think Europe should have one this soon either, I have a feeling that Madrid is going to win it, but hopefully Chicago gets the bid for 2016.



"How to hit home runs: I swing as hard as I can, and I try to swing right through the ball...The harder you grip the bat, the more you can swing it through the ball, and the farther the ball will go. I swing big, with everything I've got. I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can." Babe Ruth

Would the USA be forced to wear White Sox jerseys when they started introducing the countries?

Chicago would be awesome, the last time the Olympics were in the US (1996) I was too young to understand anything so if they were in Chicago then I'd probably make a move to get out there.

"Ohh! OOOhhh!!!-Oh and again! I made it. I know it. I can't see it but I know I made it. Oh my God I made it. Alright, don't give up. This is for everything. This is when I don't have to do it. This one right here is when I don't have to do it, which leaves nothing else but the one. No I don't think so. Not there. God I wish I could turn the volume-OH **** Aahhh son of a **** I talk too much. ****." - 00vega -

Rio De Janeiro, just imagine how great they are going to be, the dancing at the opening of the games.

Brazil despite being poor should have accesible infastructure for the Olympic Games of '16 as they will be hosting the World Cup in '14.

Japan would probably have the same story as China did, would be asked to clean up its air.

I'd like to see how Tokyo would handle the Olympics right now. Other than that, I have no opinion. If it was in Chicago I'd be more likely to go, but its still a low chance.

I'd like to see their presentations before the October selection. I was impressed with ours for the 2012 but yeah, it wasn't enough to get it. Still, it was interesting to see what could have been.
