FRAN_ Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Many people talk about which city they think will win... well let's see now which city, in case your city falls or wasn't a candidate city, would you like (not think nor predict) to win and if possible: - Don't think of the possibilities that a european city could have for 2016 if New York were elected for 2012. - Say your nationality - Explain the reasons of your choice... whatever, even if the reason is just: i like the city or i live near that city and i could attend the games... Now my opinion... i'm spanish and in case Madrid falls or wasn't a candidate city i would like to win Paris because i think they have one of the best bids and they are insisting so much on getting the games (1992, 2008) and the effort and illusion (high public support) must be awared.

baron-pierreIV Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 I believe Paris will win -- in which case NYC can come back in 2016. But if Paris doesn't win next week, then NYC of course!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSTOUT1221 Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 NYC is first choice but after that, it's London all the way. I'm from the US and I chose London simply because of the "special relationship", I suppose - I love British culture and British people. Not scientific reasons but there they are!

mr.x Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 I'll actually be happy for whoever wins 2012. Good luck to all the cities! 1) London 2) NYC 3) Paris 4) Madrid 5) Moscow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hlinur Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 I´m a Madrid citizen. My second option would be Paris for cultural and geographical proximity, even if I´m pist by the fact that it would be their 3rd olympics, that means that 10% of the summer olympic games in all times would have been held in Paris. With Paris' victory, France would have 3 summer and 3 winter OG. :sniffle: Anyway I´m not bothered about any city´s victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 I am British and if London does not get the games then I would hope it went to New York City baby. The greatest city in the world. Only London comes close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Monk Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 My preference list: 1. Paris 2. London 3. New York 4. Madrid 5. Moscow (this is last because the bid doesn't appeal to me at all). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Rols Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 London is my first choice. If that's not to be, New York. I don't really have anything against Paris or any of the others winning, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA84 Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Obviously New York. But if not - LONDON BAAAABBBYYY!!! Then Moscow, then, uh . . . . .uh . . . Can I still vote for Rio for my third choice even though they didn't make the short list? :suspect: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memorabilia Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 I am French and born in Paris... But first of all, i am a big huge fan of the olympic games, anywhere they will take place ! So my wish list is : 1 = Paris 2 = London 3 = Madrid 4 = NY 5 = Moscow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoFan90 Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 I am an American Citizen, and living in a suburb outside Milwaukee, and I would actually prefer to see the Olympics in New York, but since I love the British people and culture, and think their bid is extrodinary I would sat London. 1.) NYC 2.) London 3.)Paris 4.) Moscow 5.) Madrid But really, I think the Olympics in ANY of these cities would be exciting! So GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!!!

Alexjc Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 As an original anglo aillied nation citizen naturally I'll back New York IF London fails...But I wouldn't be fussed if Paris gets through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suit U Sir !!! Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 I'll actually be happy for whoever wins 2012. Good luck to all the cities! 1) London 2) NYC 3) Paris 4) Madrid 5) Moscow I'm suprised you have NYC as your second choice. If NYC wins 2012, that would mean no Toronto bid in 2016. If London/ Paris/ Madrid/ Moscow wins 2012, then Toronto will at least be in a position to bid for 2016, even though NYC would be the front runner and most likely to be awrded 2016. Only advantage of NYC winning 2012 (from a canadian perspective) is that Toronto would be able to bid for 2020 or 2024, rather than 2028/ 32 if NYC 2016 happens.

JDPinstripes Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 I'm stunned that the London/Paris crowd isn't working together It's seriously not a bad trip..London to Paris...it can be done in a day. Olympic Games in a day....here people I've already stated....Moscow baby! 1) Moscow 2) New York City 3) London 4) Back to Athens...now that everything's built 5) Atlanta 6) Toronto 7) Your Mom's House 8) My Backyard 9) Madrid 10) Paris 11) South Central LA And I've been to Paris...I hated it...everything about it, the most overrated city in the World.
