It will never happen that said there will be a movable roof over Centre Court

I must confess that my heart says it should go to Athens because of its place in the origins of the games. It must also borne in mind that they do have the most up to date facilities (having been last used three years ago) so the infrastructure is there. That, after all, was one of the main aims for the YOG. However, another aim was for smaller cities and towns to also have a chance to host an olympic games

presumably they will add lighting to bring out the architectural features come the finished article the design looked interesting on paper but i think i, too will see how it looks

As its the first one Athens may be in with a shout

That is possible and the winning of a bid for one of the current games seems to undermine a bod for the other. However there cant be that many cities with the right infastructure of the right size and in place. It strikes me that as the youth games will be considrably smaller than their adult counterparts one can assume that the infastructure doesnt have to be adult size (eg there isnt a need for main stadia of 80000+ seats. so the the likes of sheffield may have an advantage

I know that they havent indicated but Sheffield may be stand a good chance since they have the facilities following the world student games a number of years ago
