Where will the 2016 Olympic games be hosted?
There are four finalist cities, and a decision will be made in October 2009.

Summer 2008 Beijing (China)
Winter 2010 Vancouver (Canada)
Summer 2012 London (UK)
Winter 2014 Sochi (Russia)

The finalists are:
Chicago (USA). (Previous USA games were L.A 1984 and Atlanta 1996)
Tokyo (Japan). (Previously held in Tokyo on 1964)
Rio (Brazil). (No previous games in Brazil)
Madrid (Spain) (Previously Barcelona in 1992)

My guess is Rio. They haven't been in South America, apart from the 1968 games in Mexico. All the other countries have had them before, although Tokyo was 44 years ago. I doubt they would go back to an Asian country so soon after Beijing, and Brazil is a much friendlier time zone for US TV!

I woul like to see Rio win. Imagine the beach shots the cameramen will get.

It will be interesting to see London.

They say they have less than 1/2 the budget of Beijing.

In true Olympic spirit, it will all come down to bribes.

More importantly - can we get Mt Steggel(sp?) built at Smiggen Holes so we can get a bid in for 2018?

Rio hopefully!
