Support for 2016 Olympics varies in each bid city

Posted by Lisa Franklin on 10/01/09 • Categorized as Politics

As the clock counts down to the IOC announcement on Friday for the 2016 Summer Olympics, opinions vary among residents of each of the final four cities and their surrounding areas.

Chicago, Madrid, Rio de Janeiro, and Tokyo share in generous servings of supporters and naysayers with a small side of nonchalance. Which city will host the Games? It is still too close to call with only a day left.

Tokyo, Japan

    Hi !
    I'm french, I'm sorry I only speak a little english.
    I live in Spain, Barcelona. I'm economist and sociolog.

    Please you can transmit this information at all delegations of the CIO, which will vote to morrow in Copenhague.
    How Madrid will be win ?
    Spain and Madrid are one of the bad exemple for the young peoples of the worls (as everybody can verify in situ, in many tv programs, in medias...):
    Corruption in all of the institutions (politic, economic and sportive org.), corruption in the street (is a really cultural spanish comportment at all levels of the society), prostitution in the streets and roads, hight level and current drogs distribution (80% of the young spanish people touch with drog), no respect in all public comportments (street, driving in roads,...), many violence and alcool uses (the youngers practice "el botellon" every week end...
    A really problem for Europe: this country benefits many and important financial, economic and cultural helps of the others countries of CEE, and it choises "facil" and bad uses: Spain people and socio economic organisations are very bad examples for the world, for the youngers.
    This country can't use the Olympic Games only to have economic profits.
