Next Olympics should be on the moon. Then only the US could show up and win all the medals. AWWWWWW YEAH!
Think of the world records that you'd break!
Except I'm not sure they should be regarded as world records since they weren't set on the same world.

There's more chance the Chinese would turn up than the americans

With their communist space ships? Good luck to them!
All the best performances would be considered Moon Records.
The Leonas look so much better it's not even funny.

Again, why would it be so unique? What is Istanbul, not so unique? Istanbul is probably the cultural capital of the world, being the capital of 3 big empires. If you wanna see the skyscrapers, sure we dont have as much as Tokyo but we still got one of the tallest skylines in Europe.

Istanbul is right at the crossroad between the West and East.
Any man I feel sorry for who is in the BOLT era.
Either Istanbul or Tokyo I'm cool with as long as I can watch the Olympics.

I am hoping for Tokyo personally. We will see.
I am still planning on a trip to the 2016 games. Assuming I have the $$ saved up.
Istanbul would be interesting....but I want them to develop a non shitty sports program first that can win medals. Dislike when countries that suck at sports host it. So anticlimactic.

Tokyo probably wont get 2020 for olympics
for the 2016 bid, Madrid even beat out Tokyo. also the winter olympics are being held in south korea for 2018 so having back to back olympics both in the same region is unlikely.

why do you say that? there's a reason alot of the teams in this Olympic tournament hate the idea of an under 23 rule, it would fuck them over. Lithuania, Argentina, Russia...
Russian and Lithuanian teams blast Stern's proposed Olympic rule change
This was the third time London got it, fyi.
Dat Dutch women's field hockey team...
This is an excellent DATASS pic.

Oh okay, thanks for telling me something I already knew.
Uh good.

USA-Japan still hate each other.

Definetly, Jacques Rogges said the focus is on emerging economies, it would be fine to host a big tournament like this. China got one, Brazil gets one, Russia gets Fifa WC.

do not want to sound rude but Turkey scares me, so I prefer Madrid. I do no like also Tokio because the radiation and that big lizard they have.... ; )

It's not Istanbul, people. It's Constantinople. And yeah, would rather be held at Constantinople over Tokyo.
After the Commonwealth Games? Somehow I think they will need longer than 10-15 years.

nah
Why would Turkey scare you?
Istanbul is a very forward thinking modern place. It's not Baghdad.

Why does it scare you? We got 30 million tourists flocking in every year.
You sound like the perfect person to have this conversation with, lol.

This is exactly why Turkey needs the Olympics.
I didn't mean to suggest that there is anything wrong with Turkey. Istanbul would be by far my favorite choice and I'd love to visit.
By "tourism", I meant Americans and W.Euros traveling to a Games in Istanbul. I know more than a dozen Americans in London right now (so jealous!), but I'd have a hard time imagining any of them going to Turkey in 2020 if Syria, Iran and Iraq are still acting the fool.

You asked :
We advise you to exercise a high degree of caution in Turkey because of the high threat of terrorist attack.
Pay close attention to your personal security at all times and monitor the media for information about possible new safety or security risks.
Terrorist attacks can occur anywhere at any time in Turkey. In recent years, terrorist attacks have occurred in tourist areas and locations frequented by foreigners. Foreigners have been killed and injured.

There isn't going to be a Olympics if every important person gets assassinated.

is Turkey's economy much more above Greece's?
Turkey's economy is alot bigger than Greece's, yes. I'm still surprised that a country of Greece's size could host the olympics.

Indeed, many people still think Turks speak Arabic, have sharia laws and live in the desert. We need a big event to show the world what we exactly are and belong in the 21st century.
