Glamorous Cities in Race to Host Olympics

Don't know WHY I'm so interested in this. Maybe because I'm still pissed about Beijing.

The complete list of candidates:

  • Havana - beautiful but is there a Castro factor
  • Istanbul - would be first games in Islamic world
  • Leipzig - would be third German host city
  • London - would be three time host
  • Madrid - so soon after Barcelona?
  • Moscow - can they handle it? Would be first "real" games after `80 boycott
  • New York - sentimental favorite in post 9/11 era
  • Paris - supposedly the frontrunner; would be three time host
  • Rio de Janeiro - never been a Games in South America (or Africa)
