    Oh FFS! Madrid is "safe" by any reasonable definition.

    Well the Eurocentrics would love this thread would'nt they?

    Screw Madrid. Not another European country, please. Seems like some people here forgot the little fact that the IOC is an international, not European organization.

    In any case, don't you people realize IOC rotate the Olympics by each continent? It is not always the best candidate city that wins. Haven't you guys figure that out by now?

    It was always going to be a stretch to get back to Europe so soon after London. 2024 at the earliest, not 2020. The IOC can't say this out openly to give the illusion each city has a fair fight. But anyone looking at the Olympic host cities in the last few decades can see the pattern clearly.

    Is that sarcasm? Just so you know, I mean my colleagues at the European Broadcasting Union. We have worked together at every Summer and Winter games since Sydney and many of them are veterans from many years before that!

    It's Istanbul fifth failed Olympic bid. That's harsh.
