What about Kaspiysk? Haven't they yet receaved support of the Russian Olympic Committee?

I think Sweden and a Durban bid might also jump in.

May be Rome could get the backing of the Italian government to bid for the 2018 YOG !!!

Well, I'd assume the IOC will issue a statement with all the final bidders later today. Any word on Sweden yet?

[deawebo]

I think th list will be complemented by Sweden and Russia... At this point Glasgow seems the front runner is almost every aspect...

I've heared Medellin it's true...
