Well, it doesn't matter much... indeed.... but you guys failled in your predictions..... Rio scored 60,81 and is in the first place. Baron, you are such an artist... pretending you are happy with the results! Anyway... hope GamesBids index is right this time. Go Rio! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worldracer Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Well, really, the top three bids are all soclose it's scary. No disrespect, but this doesn't tell us much we didn't already know. I am looking forward to watching the index! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect, but this doesn't tell us much we didn't already know. I am looking forward to watching the index! No doubts about this. This race seems to be exciting. But I'm happy (as a carioca) to see Rio well-positioned in all rankings in the internet. It isn't official, but it is a trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soaring Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Finally some numbers that show Chicago is not the front runner! I am relieved now. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave199 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Finally some numbers that show Chicago is not the front runner!I am relieved now. Thank you. I still think Chicago is the front runner. The only reason Rio is a little bit ahead of Chicago is because of that "New Frontier" aspect which is gaining steam.

The only reason Rio is a little bit ahead of Chicago is because of that "New Frontier" aspect which is gaining steam. That's possibly true, but then again bidindex takes it into consideratio as the votes of ioc members themselves do reflect that aspect sometimes. It's more a vote gauging tool than a sustainability gauging tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyelBrazil Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Finally some numbers that show Chicago is not the front runner!I am relieved now. Thank you. Well, Rio, Chicago and Tokyo are almost tied, so they (the 3 cities) are frontrunners. ATR Index showed a similar ranking. We have not doubt this race is between Rio, Chicago, Tokyo and a little bit less Madrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puxapiti Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Congrats to Rio Anyway, on 2012 race Rio's lowest rate was 60.77 and maximum reached 62.22. Then, they failed the first IOC shortlist. --BidIndex versus IOC-- 2010- Vancouver won, not Salzburg 2012- London won, not Paris (Madrid, rated under Rio, got the bronze medal) 2014- PyeongChang for GB, but Sochi will host the Games USOC 2012- New York was ranked 4ht, with Houston, Washington and San Francisco as front-runners...

Exactly, I wouldn't take the BidIndex that seriously. It's been proven wrong in its rankings in the past. It's telling us something we obviously know though, Rio, Chicago, & Tokyo are the frontrunners. We already know this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soaring Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Hey guys, I was being a little sarcastic. Obviously, the three are pretty much tied. I was actually happy Rio got the top spot. So that we can go with the flow and say BidIndex was initially wrong again. I still think Chicago will pull off a win in the end. Rio would be cool. But that can wait for another time, Chicago may never ever be in this position again (New York, San Fran or LA completely out of it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, they failed the first IOC shortlist. Well, everybody (even the negative ones) got surprised with Rio's eliminiation in 2012 and I think BidIndex is good to show trends, not to be read as a prediction of the future... Anyway, we believe Rio's bidbook - this time - is much better and realistic than 2012's one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Could be the stars (which is their logo) are lining up for Chicago. The likely U.S. president come January 20, 2009 will be from Chicago -- so you know it will have Washington's fullest backing; the troops will hopefully be coming back from Irak; and there is always the appeal of a new occupant in the White House that folks like the IOC'ers like to have calling on them. GBMod, did you factor that in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FYI Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Yeah, but if McCain wins (which hopefully, he won't. But let's be realistic, his chances are good), I could see Chicago's chances at landing this thing considerately dwindle. He won't won't like Blair or even Putin for us, he would have the oppostite effect. All McCain is, is just another Bush & the international community would still view us negatively if he wins the White House. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soaring Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Just curious here, do you not think Chicago would be chosen again by the USOC if they lose 2016? I think it could very well be another U.S. city bidding for 2020 if Chicago does not pull out a victory. From what reports stated, the vote was close, and even Peter Ueberroth looked surprised/disappointed by the decision. So it could be LA for 2020, or another city - who knows what four years may bring. Yeah, but if McCain wins (which hopefully, he won't. But let's be realistic, his chances are good), I could see Chicago's chances at landing this thing considerately dwindle. He won't won't like Blair or even Putin for us, he would have the oppostite effect. All McCain is, is just another Bush & the international community would still view us negatively if he wins the White House. McCain stands no chance for winning the presidency (unless there is a serious terrorist attack between now and November). Right now the momentum is tilting to Obama over the Hillarator, but who knows what slimy Clinton politics will do to Obama in the next 15-20 delegate races. This election so far has showed us that anything can happen. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
