  1. The European swimming and athletics federations have already decided to synch their continental champs from 2018 onwards, so the EOC was probably ignored in that decision. I doubt the EOC even has much power or leverage there...

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Sports_Championships

    love europeans "not to synch anything" behavior :D if it goes like this euro games wont be above then continental youth champ.

  2. brothers doing a great job... but unf. they raised the future games expectations like beijing and sochi. non shall be so volunteered to host future games it seems :D

    despite lack of professional athletics swimming and basketball+football stil a good competition before rio. İf EOC decide to inc. all euro champs ( at least swimming athletics wrestling and volleyball) into this games it will be st like olympics even better than asian games..

    the main problem....WHO WILL GET THE FLAG for 2019???? :D

  3. dont compare madrid and istanbul

    istanbul is HUGE 15 m. people and need those investments for us not for the games, and they are a must.

    what i mean without any traffic investments left and no concerns about it Istanbul can solve one of its handicaps

    may be we take the issue from different views. im as a marketing executive, see what can Istanbul sells but in an optional ground and bosphorus is the golden package of the city bid:) if the product inside of the pack is worth to buy this golden pack. why not. we need to perfect the product first.

    just we need a good team ( 2020 team did a good job) a compact bid plan and a charismatic leader and time till 2016

    ankara? common :/ its putting manchester instead of london.

    still not sure what will happen till 2016

    .

  4. time will show... if the 3 rd bridge, 3rd airport, marmaray ( will open this year) and other expensive investments finish at time or in progress the budget of 2020 will drop to 5/7bUSD at 24.

    without any problems about logistics and finished urban development Istanbul can get 24. if it gets 36 votes with all disadvantages at 20 race why not in 24 then?

    and at 2015 there will be elections, with gezi parkı and syria problems the parliement can be more balanced like % 40 akp % 28 chp and %15 mhp with % 5 kurdish party, erdoğans "1 man show" cant be continue...

    uefa 2020 finals will stage here most probably and no chance to take it at 24 again. better focus on olympics or pass it ( which i dont give a chance the government will pass)

    + with all disadv. , located far from village ..etc the ceremony stadium at bosphorus will be the best ever in olympic history, just we saw a glipse of moments at 20 videos and seems WOW...bet no one has an argue about it:)

  5. I imagine that having so many 'guiris' around here, help to pickpockerting. Japan and Turkey can't even dream with having 56 million+ tourists per year, it's one of its consequencies.

    In Tokio 'they would give you your wallet back if you forget it', but that wallet would probably be empty after having stayed in an hotel there.

    Here you have another list, the most expensive cities in the world.

    1.Luanda; 2.Moscow; 3.Tokio; 4.Yamena; 5.Singapour

    1.Luanda; 2.Moscow; 3.Tokio; 4.Yamena; 5.Singapour

    excuse me.... turkey has 35m tourists in a year and Istanbul has 11m. double madrid....

  6. There is some people that are only missing a sign with the words "I'm robbable, please do steal"; I mean, I see everyday people in Brussels (which is not one of the safest cities in Europe to put it this way) walking around the streets taking less care for their belongings than they would usually do in their hometown; people that go in a cafeteria, leave their expensive camera sitting alone in the table while going to the bathroom, etc, and things like that. The attacks of this trolls against Istanbul should not be taken as the majority of Spanish people playing very hard and dirty on Istanbul...

    i dont like spanish trolls..:)

    also tapas too....:)

  7. I spent my holidays in Istanbul one year ago. Dirty city and thiefs everywhere. Taxis and waiters try to thief me five times in a week. I don't want that the Olympic family feel the same that me.

    5 times a week... dude u have a prob. withyourself... :)

    thts why i dont want madrid to win. spanish getting dirty....:/

  8. Not this "Istanbul is new and unique" crap. What makes those cities sooo special besides that fact that the games have not been there yet. At least Europe and North America saw the potential in the games before the rest of the world and now they want a shot to get the rings it's complete and utter BS. Istanbul needs to sort out their political problems before they host the games, but the Middle East is in a rough spot right now and if Syria escalates into an all out Middle Eastern war- they can kiss the next 50 years good bye and DC 2024 might as well jump into Japans radioactive disaster.

    do u remember Chechenia and Georgia war at the doors of Sochi? or North Korea just miles away seoul and pc?

    dont be ridiculous about security. Istanbul is safe place. and stabil as Russia china and brazil. even half of people hate the government the other half voted for in a clear voting system.

    yeah thts democracy :)

  9. I imagine she refers to the 'A games between two cities, bla bla bla', which Istanbul uses in tourism campaings, in the Games, in championships, etc, They always use the same sentence to apply for everything, theres nothing new there. Aren't the 'austerity Games' something new??? :lol::lol::lol::lol:

    well if she doesnt get how unique is Istanbuls location its her problem. non other city offers such diverse but also compact cultural geographical option, not just for 2020 but also in general.

    what will dey say for 24 Durban campaign den? only continent left, africa welcomes u blahblah...? accept it Madrid is not a special city like Rio, Istanbul, Venice. does ones blessed with mother nature and some touches with humans:)

    uh not to forget i love spain and people, but doesnt like their behaves in this race...trying to higher their bid cant progress with s..ting on others..

  10. -And Tokyo and Istanbul ?

    I think Istanbul needs more time and will mature in ten or fifteen years. That also happened to Madrid. Istanbul is presented for the fifth time , but does not offer anything new. The must sell what they are, and they have done just the opposite.

    says 3 rd attempt and only say we build %80 or facilities city? did dey carry madrid anywhere else and offering st new??? lol

  11. The pro-Madrid campaign in BA isn't being organised by city officials. No problem with it at all. If some people want to show their support for a certain bid, good for them.

    The #ChooseMadrid campaign I'm not feeling though. Different countries progress at different speeds on things like this and at their own pace. The point of the anti-Sochi stance was to put pressure on Russia because it's going BACKWARDS on minority rights, which is obviously really worrying and worth making a noise about. But, whilst they're obviously a one-issue campaign group and have their own interests which they're entitled to shout about, I feel this is moving into the realms of meddling and trying to make their issue THE issue on which to choose an Olympic host. I wonder what Emre, as an openly gay Istanbul 2020 supporter, makes of it, for example.

    its st cultural i think.

    here 2013 gay pride in taksim.

  12. Don't be ingenous. It has to do indeed. People can't see Erdogan in Buenos Aires because his political figured just vanished so shamely and Rajoy is following the same path. This can't be good for Madrid, specially having the undefiled Tokyo bid competing!

    erdoğan will be in b.a.
