OK "23" was a bit old. I think 23 is the Logan's Run age in Rio.

If Chicago had gotten the Olympics the corruption and overspending would have rivaled Boston's Big Dig. There's no way it wouldn't have ended up
costing 5 times as much as first estimated.

Chicago for the winter olympics is absurd.
Now if Denver wanted to host the winter Olympics it would be a good choice, they wouldn't even have to build anything. There is world class skiing ect. . . there already and they have stadiums already built for their pro ball teams that could be converted. |

Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 2020
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese city of Hiroshima said it and Nagasaki, the only cities that suffered nuclear attacks, are considering a joint bid to host the 2020 Olympic Games, to give momentum to moves to abolish nuclear weapons. The agreement came after Tokyo failed in its bid for the 2016 Olympics and the surprise award of the Nobel Peace Prize to U.S. President Barack Obama for giving the world "hope for a better future" and striving for nuclear disarmament. "Mayors for Peace, which has 3,000 cities as its members worldwide, aims to abolish nuclear arms by 2020," Koji Utsunomiya, a Hiroshima City official in charge of sporting activities, told Reuters. "It would be great if we could host the Olympic Games, the festival of peace, in that year of 2020." Hiroshima Mayor Tawnytoshi Akiba and Nagasaki Mayor Tomihisa Taue are set to hold a news conference at 0430 GMT on Sunday in Hiroshima. |
