Looks like Chicago is out of the running for the 2016 Olympics. I am bummed but not surprised. I had decided that I was going to go and watch if it wsa in Chicago. Has anyone attended a swim session at the Olympics (if you swam in one, that more than counts, but I am wondering about spectating!)?

I think Atlanta got very lucky in 1996, because other bidders did not go after the games thinking that Athens was a lock.
I bet that Coca Cola had some influence there.
As for Chicago, the last thing any city in the US needs now is to spend 14 billion dollars on sports facilities.
