Sir Rols Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Suck on that Doha! Honestly, I don't usually actively "dislike" bids, and I expected them to make the short list, but would have been really sh!tty if they'd won at the end. Happy at them missing out to prevent that chance. Feel a bit sorry for Baku, but that was on the cards. They've got Eurovision this week to console them. I'd just love to see the scores for the others now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikarus360 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Did Doha REALLY tought they stood a chance after what happened two years ago. This is the IOC, not the FIFA I feel more bad for Baku, though...and the Eurovision was supossed to help them improve their image. I guess that the country being ruled by an authoritarian goverment is not helping. Congratulations to Tokyo, Madrid and Istambul, though. Best of luck for them. And now Istambul has a good excuse to make a proper logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I think cutting one is too harsh so they decided to cut the other as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting up new shiny sports venues is not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikarus360 Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Wow, looking good for Madrid. I expected the crisis would have made them lose more points. It seems it wasn't the case. Maybe they can perform a feat a la Pyeongchang and use again the "third time is a charm" rule. But we will have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikarus360 Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Ok, I was reading the report and I saw the following stuff: 1- Istambul was suggested they still need to refine certain things to improve athletes and other participants experience. They were also a bit criticized for their venues being spread out (specially the long distance between the olympic village with the rest of the venues), but keeping with the long term needings of the city. 2-Tokyo wasn't pretty much criticized and was praised for being a good technical bid, and for being very compact: However, they also mentioned that a large percentage of people, in the IOC public opinion, shown no opinion about the bid. They suggested that they need a better communication plan. 3-Madrid was praised, like Tokyo, for being very compact. Also they said that "There is a clear vision for the 2020 Olympic Games as a celebration of sport and the Games are viewed as an opportunity and catalyst to boost economic development and create sustainable social legacies to further improve the life of Madrid’s residents.". However, and as predicted, they also mentioned the current economic situation in Spain, saying that despite they have most of the venues ready, some of the ones which will be needed to be built will present a challenge. 4-Baku didnt passed the cut because of the still underdeveloped infrastructure and experience. Also, "Concern was also expressed whether the significant amount of construction required to host the Games was consistent with the size and legacy needs of the city." 5- Doha didnt passed the cut because it would had a strong enviromental impact. Also, they considered the effects towards the broadcasting of the games because of the dates selected. Transporting was also very criticized and considered a risk. In my opinion, Tokyo and Madrid are pretty much tied. Madrid has the problem of the financial situation in Spain, while Tokyo needs to convince more people to support the bid. However both bids got good critics and were praised for their compact bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
