The Conquistador, the Sipahi, or the Samurai (The XXXII Olympiad)
« on: September 13, 2012, 06:16:45 AM »
In about one year, the IOC will annouce the host city for the XXXII Summer Olympiad in 2020.  The candidate cities are Madrid, Istanbul, and Tokyo.  Currently favored to win the bid by prognosticators is Tokyo, but with Istanbul close behind.  Madrid is a distant 3rd. 

For obvious reasons, I'd like to see Tokyo to win, though I'd be happy with Istanbul too, since that would drive the extreme right wingers nuts. :D

So, which city would you like to see host the 2020 Summer Olympics?

Istanbul, for a variety of reasons.

Not Madrid. I was unfortunate enough to be in Madrid during the Copa del Rey and oh my god, the crowds, the noise. I would prefer Constantinople, though Tokyo would be cool too. Just not Madrid.
