so i google 2016 olympics and came up with this: cities that will bid for the games

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Summer_Olympics

i think the reason why the united states is a hot spot for the olympics is because the venues are already in place or may need minor updates.

Very good! We've got a winner!

A lot of people can't come up with St. Louis.

Athens was actually 2004. Salt Lake City was 2002.

Don't forget Sydney in 2000! Athens & Sydney were Summer and Salt Lake City was Winter Olympics

I would like to see the games in Rio. However, high crime rates have caused many major sporting events to be drawn away.

I would like to see the games in Argentina or Venezuela.

I wonder if any of the South American countries want to commit to the money and take the chance of huge financial losses that go with the games these days?

As I drove to work this morning I saw a very cool site: Every morning on my way to work I drive past Vancouver City Hall - not a big deal. But this morning, fluttering in the chilly wind, was the Olympic Flag.

That's pretty cool.

Seeing the mayor waving the flag using the wheel chair was impressive.

Maybe a drug lord or two would want to fund it!! Just think, no drug tests would be taken that year!



Okay, I admit that I'm a sick puppy!
