Help Requested:  Past USOC Bid Applicants


Recommended Posts

Can anyone help compile a list for one of our readers...?

I'm interested in the USOC (and

other countries as available) decisions for winter and summer 1988-2004).  The ideal information is each year's votes like you have on your  site for the international bidding, though that may be unatainable.  If not that, then cities by date of elimination or some such.

If we can just determine the cities that applied to the IOC for domestic nomination since 1998, that will probably do.

Please post any you can think of and then we'll build a list.

The IOC website has a list of all the candidate cities of the past, and the votes they got.  Go to "History of the Games," select a particular Games; and then on the lower right hand side, with the Torch details, the Logo details, etc., there's a box for the history of the vote.

Is that what you mean, GBM?

Well, to start off the easy way, the USOC didn't officially submit bids of any of the following Olympics for 1936, Winter 1964, Winter of 1984, 1988, Summer of 1992, 2000, 2004, 2006, 2008 and 2010.

They've been a busy NOC.

Actually no, we're looking for the USOC - United States Olympic Committee - the domestic voting.

oooooooooooooooo.  For that, if Goggle doesn't turn up anything, one may have to do it the old-fashioned way and just go to the local library and go to Reader's Guide to Periodical Index, and look it up each year.  

For many years though, through the 60s and the early 70s, Detroit was really the only serious USOC summer contender.  

Also, I don't know how accessible the USOC archives are in Colorado Springs.  It's always worth a call.
