ZHANG: And in Tokyo, hopes are high that the city will host the 2016 Summer Olympics. The Japanese capital unveiled how it would welcome the Games if chosen. STORY: Tokyo has made its bid to host the 2016 Olympics official, bringing out political and athletic stars to back the multi-billion dollar push. The tightest race in recent Games history pits Tokyo against Chicago, Rio de Janiero and Madrid in a battle to follow London as Summer Olympics host. Governor Shintaro Ishihara says Tokyo has over a billion Games budget and the financial guarantee of the national government, amid what may be the longest Japanese slowdown in some time. [Shintaro Ishihara, Governor of Tokyo]: “In these days of economic uncertainty Tokyo’s credit rating is two notches above that of Japan and although we don’t know how long the recession will last, already much has been done, including reclamation work.” Tokyo, which hosted Asia’s first Olympics in 1964, has so far tapped a dozen major Japanese corporate sponsors, as the city can expect a major facelift in addition to using former Games facilities. Infrastructure and cost are key IOC considerations amid the world’s worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, but Barclays chief economist says winning the Games would be a jump start for Japan’s recession-hit economy. [Kyohei Morita, Economist Barclays]: “I think that the Olympics themselves will bring about, will call for infrastructure investment, which will support employment for …
Possible locations are Tokyo, Madrid, Chicago, and Rio de Janeiro.
Where do you think they will be held? I REALLY hope they will be in Chicago (I only live three hours from there) but the Olympics have never been in south America before so Rio de Janeiro might get it.
ENGLISH THE CITY Rio de Janeiro is truly still beautiful. The City, ever more Marvelous. With its natural beauty, one of the most beautiful seashores in the world, comprised of 14 beaches, the contagious, heartwarming joy of six million inhabitants spread over 159 districts, a unique and highly animated cultural diversity and life, this postcard of Brazil receives the world with open arms. Rio is Carioca; it is Brazilian; it is international. It is feeling at home even though you live on the other side of the world and do not speak a word of Portuguese. Rio is festive. The city’s cultural fervor is so great that it is common to have events where the turnout exceeds one million people. Some examples of this are the New Year’s celebration, Carnaval, sports events such as the 2004 Athens Olympic Torch Relay and rock concerts on the beach, such as Live Earth and the Rolling Stones. The Marvelous City is enjoyed by illustrious residents, including athletes, artists and intellectuals and it offers diverse leisure options for those who live here or those just passing through, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The famous cable car that takes you to the breathtaking view from atop the Sugar Loaf; the adventures of hang gliding; the classic matches at the world symbol for this nation of soccer shoes, Maracanã Stadium; the traditional nightlife of Lapa; the exuberant Marina da Glória; Colombo bakery, the brand of Rio gastronomic value. There are countless leisure options. From the …
REPORT: The four cities bidding to host the 2016 Olympics handed in their plans to the International Olympic Committee in Lausanne Thursday. After a technical evaluation last June, the IOC said Tokyo was the leading contender.
This video details Madird, Spain’s bid for the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. It was designed by a Chicago university undergrad as part of a class project.
Rio de Janeiro has won the contest to host the 2016 Olympics and take the games to South America for the first time after the shock elimination of Chicago in the first round of voting today. There were celebrations on the streets of the city this evening after the announcement by the IOC president Jacques Rogge. Chicago’s early exit was seen as a snub for Barack Obama, who flew to Copenhagen to represent his former home town. Obama, the first serving US president to appear before the IOC, told delegates he hoped that the games would show “America at its best is open to the world”. Michelle Obama arrived two days earlier, alongside other dignitaries including the Brazilian president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, and King Juan Carlos of Spain. Today’s 45 minute presentations were the end of a three-year journey for the bidding cities. Tokyo was knocked out in the second round of voting before the IOC voted again to decide between Rio and Madrid. Madrid’s surprising success in reaching the final round came after the former IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch made an unusual appeal for the Spanish capital, reminding the IOC members as he asked for their vote that at age 89 “I am very near the end of my time.” The Brazilian president told delegates that Rio’s bid was made on behalf of the whole of South America. “I honestly think it is Brazil’s turn,” he said. “It is South America’s bid. This is a continent that has never held the games. It is time to address this imbalance. It …
