Quotidien Olympic Games



Four cities to compete to host the 2016 Olympic Games

The International Olympic Committee announced on June 4 that Chicago (USA), Tokyo (Japan), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), and Madrid (Spain) have made it on to the shortlist of cities bidding to host 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Candidate Cities were accepted unanimously from seven Applicant Cities, which included Prague (Czech Republic), Baku (Azerbaijan) and Doha (Qatar).


"All the bids were of a very high standard," said IOC President Jacques Rogge. "It is a tribute to the health of the Olympic Movement that the field was so strong. I congratulate the Candidate Cities and I hope that those cities which were unsuccessful this time have benefited from the process."
