Come on Oprah; show us just why you are the Queen of Television. If you don't...well Tyler Perry makes just as convincing a woman...

Of course, with my being a guy, the chances of a groper attacking me are much lower. But depending on the locations of the events, the trains serving the area could be packed. The JR Yamanote trains are normally very packed during these times, so touching is not easy to stop.

I'm just amazed how leaders of countries care so much that they are taking time out of their schedules to pitch. Obama did it, it seems, and I read that Hatoyama was going also earlier.

Edit: The Chicago pitch that I'm hearing now is laying it on really thick, but that is par for the course, I guess.

According to the news I heard this morning live from Copenhagen - before the committees started their speeches - Chicago did seem to have taken a lead towards Rio, with the other two cities standing behind.

Alchemist007 · 2009-10-02, 03:01

Looks like..Tokyo won?

mg1942 · 2009-10-02, 03:09

Tokyo presentation

Local: 10H25-11H35
GMT: 8H25-9H36

Thingle · 2009-10-02, 05:24

Rio! No need for a visa to watch when it's there.

Shinoto · 2009-10-02, 08:26

I want Japan, just to see how big of a mess it creates in the City!

Curse Curse Curse Curse!

Mystique · 2009-10-02, 08:49

wait, they're deciding now!?

ooooh sweet
*checks out BBC*
Yea, go figure, Obama is headhunting for Chicago :\

Pros and cons for each candidate city

And as much as it'd be nice for Rio to get it, according to the various categories they were judging the countries on, rio 'aparently' wouldn't be able to deal with the weight of the olympics in terms of infrastructure, fiance and a few other things compared to the other countries.
It's not just a case of 'location' as the factor for these things tbh but we'll see, a trip to Brazil would be cool tbh...

But yeah, opting for Tokyo, (biased cause my two cities would be related) Europe has had a 8 year gap between them, so Asia may go the same way perhaps.

LynnieS · 2009-10-02, 10:31

It seems that Chicago is out of the running now?

Edit: Tokyo is out also.

Thingle · 2009-10-02, 11:58

As it should be!

mg1942 · 2009-10-02, 12:00

I was watching CNN and some fat contributor had this to say

"I'm actually for Rio. In Rio, it's beautiful women at the beach, and in Chicago, it's fat people eating."

Shinoto · 2009-10-02, 12:03

My first choice lost!!! The one I wanted to lose!!!!

VICTORY FOR ALL OF MANKIND! Taste the Happy chicago, Taste it!

I'd like to see BJJ as a demonstration sport.

Narona · 2009-10-02, 12:21

I am not happy at all about Rio, but I am curious to see what the Brazil volleyball teams and Beach volley teams will do.

The women's result in Beach volley got worse, to the point that they failed to win a medal in China. Since they will play at home, they'll have to win.

I'll help you fill in the line on why you're not happy:
Rio is hardly a 'jewel', more corruption, violence and murder and the filthiest sanitary conditions of any city being considered
