    Olympic Selection 2010

    Place your bets, folks!


    You only have one day to vote before the IOC makes their decision, so make it count!

    Personally, I think Salzburg is the best choice, but politics will probably hand the bid to Vancouver this time around. I won't complain.

    Also, HAPPY CANADA DAY! (Am I crazy, or was there actually no 'Happy Canada Day' thread? I'm shocked AND appalled! )

      Ah, the Beijing controversy. That was a good ol' time.

          Vancouver is the favorite.

            Pretty sad list of cities. It was bad enough when the IOC sullied themselves by giving the Olymipics to Beijing, but an Olympics in Pyeongchang might be even worse.

              The best Olympics ever was Calgary '88.

                Hey, there ain't nothing wrong with Vancouver! It's a be-yoo-ti-ful city. And Salzburg! Oh, man, Salzburg has got class up the wazoo! Both cities would make fine hosts (Salzburg especially, in regard to transport and facilities).

                Ah well, ANYTHING will be better than Salt Lake. Blech.

                  Winter Olympics , as if the regular olympics arn't enough...

                      In believe Reno, Nevada is going to make a bid for the 2014 Winter Olympics. This area hosted them once back in the 60's.

                      I want to say Vancouver in 2010, but Hell with it, I'll vote Salzburg.
