Sir Rols 1900 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 So Madrid'd support dropped from the 2012 and 2016 votes. Juanito's no JAS senior after all! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
intoronto 650 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Mass confusion in press centre as Turkish Journalists under mistaken belief that Istanbul had won, not quite understanding the process. - Rogge did say Istanbul had been elected Quote Link to post Share on other sites
disputatio 0 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 In first round Istanbul and Madrid each had at least 24 votes. tokyo 40 madrid , Istanbul 27 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ikarus360 599 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 I can't believe the IOC in eliminating Madrid 2020, I believe they have lost an opportunity, In all due respect to Tokyo (whom I endorsed for 2016), they are now the only choice left. To elect Istanbul would be a cataclysmic mistake of epic proportions. Electing an economicaly crippled country would had also been a mistake. Tokyo's going to win. After the "risk" they took after picking Rio the last time I highly doubt they will want to go into another adventure with the "new frontiers" thing and will go for the safest option this time. If you want a "new frontier" games again, wait for 2024. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

4seasonscentre 33 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Mass confusion in press centre as Turkish Journalists under mistaken belief that Istanbul had won, not quite understanding the process. - Rogge did say Istanbul had been elected Yes, I can see how that would be confusing! Also it should have been announced that members were voting FOR a city. One member he complains he couldn't vote and the vote comes down to one vote! dodgy all around.

Olympic Fan Darcy 321 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Wow that's true. I wonder who that man voted for. Did it make the difference? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
olympiaki-agones 52 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 According with the IOC previous ballots, there are huge chances for Istanbul to win. I really see the first Olympics in the muslim world. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hektor 87 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 It was the Japanese guy I guess. He could vote between Madrid and Istanbul. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kenadian 300 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Very very very close. I wouldn't be surprised if Tokyo escaped elimination itself on that first round by a vote or two. We're talking of a vote split ranging from 24-24-46 to 31-31-32. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Go Europe 1 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Tokyo - 54 Istanbul - 43 Ok If you get this one too, I promise not to disagree with you again! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathan 0 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 So there was a tie between Madrid and Istanbul, where eventually Istanbul won 49 to 45 votes. Will there be enough votes to swing votes away from Tokyo to Istanbul?? I really hope so.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
4seasonscentre 33 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 It didnt come down to one vote. It was 49-45 Oh ok! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
reindeer 58 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 It was the Japanese guy I guess. He could vote between Madrid and Istanbul. They can only vote after the candidate of their own country has been eliminated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hektor 87 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 What was the result of Tokyo vs Istanbul ? And why did Rogge give the number of votes by the way. I thought the rule was to give only the result and to give the figures AFTER the proclamation of the host city. I think Rogge violated some rules by giving the number of votes for Istanbul and Madrid before the final vote. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Filipe_Golias 20 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Awww, a pity to see those sad faces in the athlete members of the Spanish delegation and in Madrid. I don't think there'll be a fourth try for Madrid, especially after this harsh result. What could they show new in a fourth attempt that they haven't now and in 2009? Even more compact masterplan with all venues built? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deawebo 77 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Wow! This is so sad... Poor Madrid, I really hope they host someday, the problem is the timming with Barcelona 92... Now Paris 2024 is alive! GO ISTANBUL GO GET IT! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
4seasonscentre 33 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 It was the Japanese guy I guess. He could vote between Madrid and Istanbul. I don't think the Japanese members were allowed to vote in the tie breaker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattperiolat 35 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 How do we usually get the exact round-by-round vote breakdowns? They will announce all round vote totals following the announcement of the host city, so say around 4:15-4:30 PM Eastern for that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yoshi 344 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 So its all about the however many members who voted for Madrid in the first round 1. Will they go to Tokyo or Istanbul? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
