I am serious. About Tel Aviv. It's a beautiful city, probably with the best equipment about that part of the world. Plus, Israel has some of the world's best trained security forces, period.

Bid announcements are closed. By monday, each bid must have:

1. An official bid logo
2. Sponsorship by their NOC

To satisfy the second requirement, I will be running a poll to determine which city will get the support of the USOC, Buffalo or New York City. It will close on monday.

Bids without logos will automatically miss out on shortlisting. Of those with logos, the five best candidates will be selected at which stage the advocacy and presentation stage will commence. If less then 5 bids have logos, then less then 5 bids will be shortlisted.

Any chance of people taking this seriously? :S

I can't understand how you could allege that I am not taking this seriously.  I am offended.

Buffalo has won the American candidacy.

All applicant cities ust now prefpare their bid-logo, venue plan, 'bid booklet'-extensive or not as they wish.

The five shortlisted cities will be announced next Monday.

They actually did bid for the 2010 Winter Olympics. I don't think a Summer games would be feasable there.

They could start the marathon in Spain

Buffalo has won the American candidacy.

Buffalo?  WTF?

How do they have the capability to host a cricket match let alone the olympics?

Buffalo:  This time, why not the worst?
