Don't be so thin skined it was a joke.

Saw you made some mistakes in your post and did what I could to edit it.

Source?

Isn't Istanbul considered Euro? Yeah I would prefer to see Chicago or Toronto over Durban. But that's just my North American bias coming out of me

I don't see the U.S. bidding for 2024 with South Africa bidding. I see 2024 being like the 2020 race, only 3 or 4 bidders. You can almost book it that SA will win.

Took the words right out of my mouth. This is why I wouldn't but them as "Favorites" just yet.

haha the Reno 911 pic made me laugh

Why not? the YOGS and the actual olympics are 2 different games. why would one play into another?

That was last year!?!? I never heard a word about it. The only reason I ever heard about it was because one day I was googling 2012 and it just popped up. I'm not sure about other countrys but there is ZERO marketing going on in the U.S. for the YOGS. I'm sure if Lake Placid hosted there would still be zero marketing going on for it. I can only speak for my country here cause I have no idea how big it is outside the U.S. but I have seen other people on here have the same problems as I have with it. I wouldn't like to see Lake Placid bid for the YOGs until we get this debt thing under cont

Well fingers crossed that the Youth olympics are dead by 2020.

another Reno fan?

No kidding Why do they make us wait so long?

Las Vegas is crazier than Reno IMO but Reno isn't to far behind.

Japan's chances are really low. Since 1988 Asian country's have only hosted every 10 years. With PC wining the 2018 olympics I would think this bid is all but shot. 2020 is looking like an european year and if South Africa bids for 2024 it will be an African year ( most likely) so Japan probley won't see an olympics till 2028.
