LONDON & PARIS IN OLYMPIC FINAL
Permalink   


CNN) -- London or Paris will host the 2012 Summer Games after members of the International Olympic Committee eliminated Madrid, New York and Moscow in the first three rounds of voting.

The winning city has been chosen in a fourth round of voting, and a ceremony to announce the result is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Wednesday (1130 GMT, 7:30 a.m. ET). Moscow was eliminated in the first round, New York in the second and Madrid in the third.


The voting followed a final, furious lobbying effort by an elite "who's who" of politicians and athletes in Singapore, where the IOC is holding its annual meeting. Among the dignitaries who have traveled to Singapore are British Prime Minister Tony Blair, French President Jacques Chirac, Queen Sofia of Spain and Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov. London used royalty to get its message across, with Princess Anne kicking off the city's one-hour presentation with a message from Queen Elizabeth II. "I've been impressed by the way everyone has united behind London's bid. As a country we share a passion for sport," the queen's message said, according to Reuters. Blair, who held a string of meetings with IOC delegates before flying home to host the G8 summit in Gleneagles, Scotland this weekend, underlined London's message Wednesday with a pre-recorded video clip. "Our vision is to see millions of young people participate in sport and improve their lives. London has the power to make this happen," Reuters quoted Blair as saying. London also used the star power of David Beckham, one of the world's most famous soccer players, and Olympic gold medalist and bid chairman Sebastian Coe.


Chirac spoke passionately to the IOC, saying, "The heart of Paris and the heart of France are beating in unison in the hope of becoming Olympic host in 2012," The Associated Press reported. "You can put your trust and faith in France, you can trust the French, you can trust us." Paris also utilized the talents of actress Catherine Deneuve and French singer Johnny Halliday to highlight the wonders of Paris.


New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton and bid leader Dan Doctoroff used New York's readiness and its multicultural traditions to woo judges. Bloomberg reminded the IOC of the city's recovery from the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. "In our city's darkest hour, we asked ourselves, can we recover?" AP quoted him as saying. "New Yorkers stood up then and said, 'Yes, we can recover, we will rebuild and we must continue to welcome everyone. That spirit will be given to your Games." U.S. President George W. Bush and former President Bill Clinton spoke in prerecorded video messages, AP said. New York's delegation also included U.S. Olympic Committee Chairman Peter Ueberroth and a host of decorated Olympians, including Muhammad Ali, Nadia Comaneci, Ian Thorpe, Janet Evans and Jackie Joyner-Kersee.

It would have been interesting kung New York, but it's out of the running now. 


Paris sana kaya lang mukhang London ang mananalo.

Panalo ang London. Ano kayang klaseng Olympics ang ima-mount nila?


Pero before that, there's the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.

Hindi natin kaya, rune. Bilyon nga ang ginagastos ng China ngayon para sa Beijing games. Magpapagawa sila ng stadium para lang sa Olympics.  Ganon kasi pag-host ka.  Yung accommodations pa.


SEA Games lang muna tayo.  This year, Pilipinas ang host.

London won. wee! yehey!... yeah... whatever... hehe... kung napapansin nyo last olympics medyo pro western countries ang olympics... or napansin ko lang siguro yun... anyways,


mangyayari lang ang olympics sa pilipinas kapag:


pag wala na yung mga walanghiya at trapong politiko


pag marunong na tayong sumunod sa mga ordinaryong batas trapiko


pag nawala na ang korupsyon sa gobyerno


pag ang pagbabayad ng tax ay hindi na kinalalabag ng loob ng taxpayer


pag marunong na tayong bumoto ng tama


pag nabuhay na uli ang movie industry natin


pag wala nang sandamukal na boldstars na walang ginawa kundi ang magbangayan sa tv at ni hindi nila man lang alam kung ano yung mga sinasabi nila


pag ang ordinaryong high school student sa atin ay makakasagot ng simpleng multiplication question na isip lang magko-compute


pag hindi na tayo sa addict sa mga foreign novelas


pag ang mga pari sa pilipinas ay hindi na namumulitika


pag wala nang rebelde sa pilipinas


pag may kuryente na sa lahat ng sulok ng pilipinas


at


pag hindi na ko nagrereklamo ng ganito...


malamang ok na dito gawin ang olympics... pinoy games na lang kasi...


you wanna play piko?

Ang galing mo, Fraggle. Korek na korek.


Pag dito nga ang Sea Games, dinadaya pa daw.  Actually, basta kung sino ang host country ng Sea Games, may daya daw kahit unti, especially for events like archery, shooting, etc.


Hay, how sad. Pero kung mangyari na yung lahat ng sinasabi mo Fraggle, pakialam ko pa sa Olympics, eh ang ganda na ng bansa natin pag ganun.


Pero enjoy lang din akong manood ng Olympics. Ang galing nila eh.

Well, just hours or so after being told they won the bid for the 2012 games, ayan binomba ang London.


Hay, mag - pray tayo na wala nang ganitong mangyari.  It's scary and sad.

Kabayo? Kasi minsan mukhang kabayo si Prince Charles. Hindi, kasi yung maliit na kabayo nila? Yung Clydesdale?  Or Big Ben na tao. Or isang malaking patak ng ulan kasi ulan nang ulan doon.


Tama na nga, nahawa na ako sa yo
