I was very excited when they opened the (brown) envelope.

It means London types get a new infrastructure and Real Britain pays for it. Thanks.

I saw a few of your two wheel Deutchlanders with no idea which side of the street to be on in the Dolomites this year. Two of em were on the way to the hospital. Crazy buggers, as the Isle of Man TT casualty figures will attest to. ;)

Chirac wisecracked that "the only thing [the British] have ever given European farming is mad cow." The Russian and the German laughed and laughed. On a roll, Jacques ridiculed British food. "You can't trust people who cook as badly as that. After Finland, it's the country with the worst food."


Since there were at least two Finns on the Olympic venue selection committee, did Jacques torpedo the Paris bid?

If you watched the broadcast, you saw that Madrid had the best overall planning for stadiums, transportation, and lodging. Not that it matters much tho... it's all politics and $$.

When the olympics get there, the offical food will be fish and chips, and the official drink will be lager.

congrats.

But why would anyone want them.

Typically millions are spent to built facilities for the thing and only get used once.

In the long run dont they usually end up loosing more money from them then making?

Furball I can't say anything If you don' t remember Atlanta ,Salt Lake City etc...

IOC members are corrupt, nothing new.

And nowhere I pretend we didn't used the same tool, I'm not so hypocrite.

Los Angeles made so much money that the extra profit was put into an investment fund.  The income from that fund is used for facility maintenance and grants to sports organizations.  

LA was the first profit maker in quite a while and has been the model for subsequent games.
