    Icon5 Which Country Should Host the Olympics After Britain?

    Which country do you think should host the Olympic games after Britain's had a go with it in 2012? Definitely shouldn't be China, in my opinion.

    Chicago, USA; Tokyo, Japan; Madrid, Spain; and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

    Those are the finalists for the next summer games.

    Vancouver, Canada will be hosting the 2010 Winter games and Sochi, Russia will be hosting the 2014 Winter games.

    Chicago.

    I think Tokyo would be a disaster (it's just SOOOOO crowded and the population density is so high) and Brazil is getting the 2014 World Cup, so it should be Madrid or Chicago, and I think since the USA is the powerhouse of the Olympics and we haven't had it since 1996 we should get it. I think Chicago can make a better bid than Madrid.

    You do realise that 1996 was only 4 olympics ago? Let someone else have a go eh? For example, the last time Britain held the olympics was in 1948.

    I think I might agree with Justinian.

    And being in Chicago, I can take the train right on over for weekends!

    Anywhere that will actually allow baseball and softball to be part of the games.

    Chicago, it's been way too long since the Olympics were held in the USA.

    Chicago or Rio. I have to say Rio 2016 has a nice ring to it.

    NOT CHICAGO

    I don't want to think what a mess that would make the place.

    I think it being in Madrid would be a splendid idea. Spain deserves some recognition and with any luck, I'll be back home, and just might be able to go see it.

    Paris never submitted a bid for the Olympics.

    It's down to Madrid, Chicago, Rio and Tokyo.
