Kenadian Posted July 10, 2005 Report Posted July 10, 2005 I just looked over all those posts...omg, there were a lot! The following people nailed it on the head by stating that Moscow would drop first and after 4 ballots, London would win. Roltel CAF ghost1 Robert Henson michael_warren LA84 troubles torch-d Mr. X If I've missed anyone, sorry...there were a lot of posts to look at and some people made complex analysis.
baron-pierreIV Posted July 10, 2005 Author Report Posted July 10, 2005 Hmmm...so they knew in advance? So London's victory is not on the up-and-up. Apparently rigged if that many people knew in advance.
its a bid of magic Posted July 10, 2005 Report Posted July 10, 2005 I think I lost a little faith in London getting the winning the last round vote between Paris. Even though my Heart madly wanted London to win, my head kept telling me Paris would get it because it was their 3rd Bid in recent attempts. Thankfully Seb Coe and his presentation sealed it for us

Hahahahaha Its all a big conspiracy - eh, anyways congrats to London, and it doesn't really matter of the result with so many people on this board and only five canditate cities - it would be pretty obvious that someone would find out the correct answer.

Kenadian Posted July 11, 2005 Report Posted July 11, 2005 Sorry, Mr. X....your post was long and kind of confused me. I think it was on page 24 of 27 so by that time I was cross-eyed and only looking for the short answers. But I do recall you supporting London. I'll amend the list. But in review, the most common sentiment seemed to be as follows: 1 - Moscow would drop first 2 - There would be 4 ballots 3 - Paris would beat London for the Games also common judgements... Madrid would drop on the second ballot New York would be fail on the third ballot And some common observations. The Spanish seemed the most confident in their chances; many were convinced Madrid would win. The Brits were the most cautious and nervous in their hopes; They were crossing fingers for London but expecting Paris in the end. The Americans sensed it wasn't their time, but still supported NYC and feel pretty confident about 2016. A lot of Germans and Folk Down Under (Aussie and Kiwi) knew how this would turn out. Suspicious ???
