Suit U Sir !!! Posted August 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Sorry, computer crashed..... Which city do you think would have won from the following: Manchester (UK) Lille (France) St.Petersburg (Russia) Seville (Spain) San Francisco (USA) I think these 5 cities would have been the most likely alternative, had London, Paris, Moscow, madrid and NYC not been put forward by those countries. I think SAN FRANCISCO would have won this race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobi Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 1-St. Petersburg (pourquoi pas? Great city and I hope next Russian candidate) 2-San Francisco 3-Manchester 4-Lille 5-Sevilla I don't think Sevilla will ever be close to host such a big event as the Olympic Games :sleepy: .

baron-pierreIV Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Manchester (UK)Lille (France) St.Petersburg (Russia) Seville (Spain) San Francisco (USA) I think SAN FRANCISCO would have won this race. Well, Suit, with those 5, I would have to agree that San Francisco might have come out on top. Yup, California Dreaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

its a bid of magic Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Not sure Manchester would have got it after their consolation prize of winning the Commonwealth Games in 2002. 'course coming from the City itself I would have wanted them to win any Olympic race. San Francisco maybe?? Although I've St. Petersburg is a beautifull City.

Guest ryan04 Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 San Fransico or St. Petersburg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercator Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 St Petersburg is the most beautiful city I've ever been to - and I've been around a few times! - so would provide an amazing backdrop. But San Francisco has the weather :: Manchester provided the best ever Commonwealth Games and wouldn't find it too hard hosting, and Lille is 45 minutes from my house; but both are a tad too unglamorous in a field that includes the above 2 and Seville. My heart says St Pete's, my brain says San Francisco with Sevilla as backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Rols Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Rio or Leipzig. Seriously, though, SF would be my pick from the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenadian Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 This would be a cake walk. San Francisco on the first or second ballot. Saint Petersburg might be close behind. I think the IOC would rather have a London bid over Manchester, a Paris bid over Lille and Madrid or Barcelona over Seville. The only way I can see smaller cities coping with the Olympics is if they are right on the sea and can house cruise ships for temporary visitor accommodations.

Guardian Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 I wouldn't mind San Fran. Well, St. Petersburg is going to be in the world's media next year, thanks to the G8 Summit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
