Hola Everyone - Madrid 2016

So the Race for the 2016 Olympics is own. According to the International Olympic Committee, the current standings for the 4 candidate cities are as follows.

1st - Tokyo - 8.3
2nd - Madrid - 8.1
3rd - Chicago - 7.0
4th - Rio de Janeiro - 6.4

So the race right now is heating up between Tokyo and Madrid. I went over both Tokyo's and Madrid's plans for the Olympics and it seems that Madrid (who has applied 3 times to host the Olympics) is the most prepared and capable, with Chicago coming in a close second. Tokyo is the only city that has hosted the Olympics. However, no South American country has ever hosted an Olympics. Madrid has bid on 3 separate occasions but has never hosted.

My vote is for Madrid, with Tokyo coming in a close second and Chicago third. I would much rather have Lima or Buenos Aires be the first South American cities to host the Olympics than Rio (I'm not a fan).

The decision is going to be made in October. I can't wait to see who it is!
