WTF What are you talking about? Isnt enough that Madrid lost to stop the haters? Jesus...

Well, any city that is eliminated would be very sad... so ... About Madrid, I think that now it is a time for self reflexion and I dont know if there will be a fourth attempt for Madrid or not. The fact that 80% of the venues were built is not that important in my opinion and I never used it to defend Madrid. It's nobody's fault that they built in in advance, even if there are being used right now to host other championships. In a way I felt that the presentation from Madrid was not what I expected and anyway, I think it wouldnt affect too much the vote. I really hope that Istanbul can really deliver a good games without any problems due to political uncertainty and that if the chosen is Tokyo, it is really true that radiation from Fukushima doesnt get worse. If thats not the case, we will have some really huge problems for the 2020 games.

So sad! Congratulations to the elected city whichever it is!

Oh my god!!!!

Now is fully packed, they had concerts all afternoon

I also dont like these topics about any place: we live life like nobody else, etc. etc. The truth is that I ve visited many cities around the world, for my job Im so lucky to do that almost every week and I havent found a city so crazy for party and that truly never stops like Madrid. You can walk during Gran Via, one of Madrid's main avenues, at any time or day or night and its always packed with people. I sometimes wonder how is that possible.... but then when I find myself on a Monday morning, 6am walking through that street and coming from a party I understand .... Come to Madrid even if we dont get the Olympics and lets party!

Thats why they didnt ask about the economy but about other issues such as doping. Btw, they should have asked what Turkey's plans are about that too

You should read what the real situation of the Spanish economy is. Maybe you dont know that Spain contributed with 40 billion euros to the rescues of the Ireland/Portugal/Greece economies. Anyone who knows something about economy knows that Madrid can perfectly pay for the Olympics, another thing is that the money is well spent in the Olympics and not other things

At the youtube channel Im watching now previous to the blackout.... I´ll let you know if the rest of the presentation is shown!

Videos , or at least what i´ve seen, were a bit poor.. can´t say about what we didnt see... but the answers were the best of the three cities.

At least he is a good communicator... Which video are you talking about? A video that we didnt see? Is it posted somewhere?

The last video was so weird....

I just learnt that many reporters couldnt follow the Tokyo presentation because it was cut to show Istanbul conference press! Wow

I think the presentation didnt stopped in Buenos Aires, as the signal just reconnected and they keep presenting

I will tell you: with money from the city hall, regional government and the national one.
