The answer is simple. By a 2020 bid in 2013, Rome would have officially changed it's name to "Capitale Italiana". :P

Tokyo is one of the world's popular cities including me!

True...or maybe get in under the radar as Il Vaticane. ;)

Wanna make a bet?


I also don't believe in Rome. But it's not because the letter that the city will not be elected.

No; not because of the letter. But I was just showing the various probabilities of how the chips may or may not fall once the die have been cast.

It's just one more way to read the tea leaves--another indicator of why a certain city may or may NOT win the big prize based on past occurences.

To extrapolate my theory farther...

2016 - Rio
2020 - CapeTown or Durban
2024 - Rome, Paris or Berlin
2028 - Tokyo (or Delhi)
2032 - Chicago, San Francisco (or Istanbul?)
2036 - Who Cares??? :lol: :lol:

Winter:

2010 - Vanoucver
2014 - Sochi
2018 - PyeongChang
2022 - Reno
2026 - Ostersund or Munich (if Berlin loses 2024)

Rome will do a Madrid, and secure a solid voter base. And shock the world with a 2nd round win.

Hmmmm. I still think Rome's the one to beat, but I have softened a little bit on my hard line dismissal of South Africa's chances. The Durban session's pure Gold - put it this way, I think it's a far bigger plus for a South Africa bid than this year's World Cup.

Would Rome still be the one to beat if Munich or Annecy secure 2018 & Tokyo does indeed decide to run for 2020, too? It would seem then that the odds would, at the very least, tilt slightly more favorable the Asian way.
