| 2016 Chicago Olympics
I believe Chicago should host the Olympics. Mostly, Asia has had hosted the Olympics many times. So, Asia should give other countries a chance. That is less likely to happen.  |

Chicago is one of a few cities left in the bidding.. Chicago has made it through at least two cuts so far. Here are the remaining ones (according to Wikipedia) The score does not necessarily mean the chance of the city winning the bid, but it is the score received in the last cut which eliminated three of seven, leaving these four below.. Tokyo, Japan —score 8.3 Madrid, Spain —score 8.1 Chicago, United States —score 7.0 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil —score 6.4 So, an Asian city is in the lead, and hey- didn't Spain just host an Olympics recently? hehe.
