intoronto Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Probably Bach and co traded votes like Rogge and Beijing (Idk if this is true just throwing it out there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Rols Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 I don't think it would have been that blatant (and Rogge did no deals with beijing - he didn't have to, beijing was always in the bag). It was the demonstrations that did Istanbul in ... or more to the point, Erdogan's heavy-handed response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 "Chinese sports officials struck a deal with European IOC members in 2001 that brought the Olympics to Beijing and put Jacques Rogge at the head of the International Olympic Committee, according to a new book by the retired past president of the Chinese Olympic Committee. Yuan Weimin levels the accusation in his memoir, "Yuan Weimin and the Sports World," according tothis report from the AP." http://www.chinasportstoday.com/en/blog/item/379/did_china_trade_votes_to_get_the_2008_olympics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I repeat, Beijing had it in the bag, and Rogge was long JAS's preferred successor, and was the strong favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baron-pierreIV Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 congratulations tokyo but still don't understand the 60 votes against 26 by a landslide.. Fatih, Tokyo has the infrastructure AND safer environment to stage something safe for the IOC. Istanbul is too DENSE with people to be an efficient host for an OGs. But congrats on a good try. Maybe have it in Ankara next time. I think Ankara or Izmir might be a better host city. Istanbul is wayyyy TOOOO crowded!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
