Summer Olympic Cities

Posted by Miss Cellania in Sports on October 2, 2009 at 12:39 pm


The 2016 Olympic summer games will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The 2012 games will be in London, England. Since the first modern Olympics in 1896, 22 cities have hosted the summer games, some more than once. Can you name all those cities in five minutes? That’s the challenge of this Lunchtime Quiz at mental_floss. Good luck -I could only name 16. Link

    So Chicago didn't get it. Pres. Obama expended political capital for nothing. apparently Chicago wasn't even in second place.

    Well, Obama did try and should get props for that. I'm sure that if he didn't try he'd get flack from that too.

    I'm from/live in Chicago, and we didn't want it anyway; the mayor did, but no one I know did. The schools, communities, and public transportation system need that money we would have thrown at it more.

    lol, Beebee. You really expect the money that would have gone to an Olympics event will now be spent on useful things?
