Tokyo is out? Aww.

No

 

[MetatronM]

Without knowing anything about the presentations being shown, I'm guessing Istanbul. IOC is always looking for new places.


EDIT: Oh, Tokyo's already out, huh? Well that's not surprising.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Was pulling for Tokyo. :<

 

[Enkidu]

Tie between Madrid and Istanbul? I thought Tokyo was the favourite?

It was the clear favorite until the recent radiation concerns pretty much ruined their bid.

 

[clemenx]

Nuclear fear mongering ruins everything.

 

[Funky Papa]

Istambul is the ony option where I can see the Olympics doing more good than bad.

 

[Banjotanooki]

WTF?!?! The radiation is miles away from Tokyo, I call bullshit.

 

[Simplet]

Go Istanbul! Madrid is too close to London too soon and Paris will never get it if Madrid wins.

edit : Damn they were tied for second place!

 

[kingkitty]

And Turkey is near Syria.

So it shall be Madrid!

edit: welp nevermind! Yay for Instanbul!

edit: APPARENTLY WE READ IT COMPLETELY WRONG

 

[GhostWriter24]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT: WAIT, TOKYO IS STILL ALIVE??????

 

[Lach]

[edit]

Oh Tokyo is not out!?!?!?
I'm confused....

 

[Spiegel]

Tokyo was already in the final, people

Madrid out.

Istambul Vs Tokyo now.

 

[D4Danger]

Nuclear fear mongering ruins everything.

they should host their own SUPER Olympics.

that's how radiation works, right? superpowers?

 

[Razorskin]

Guys they didn't win yet..

 

[ZeroGravity]

Guys, its not over.

 

[NYR]

Oh jeez.

 

[Majine]

AMAGAD TOKYO STILL IN IT

 

[freshair]

Was hoping for Istanbul or Madrid. Woo~

 

[Lagspike_exe]

Erdogan looks like a person who has no issues giving out bribes, so Istanbul will probably win.

 

[Funky Papa]

Quick note for the Tokyo fans out there: Try to remember that Olympic elections are about greasing the members of the Committee, not reason.

 

[GhostWriter24]

GO TOKYO!!!!! IT WAS A FUCKING TIE FOR SECOND PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MetatronM]

Wait? Tokyo is not out but Madrid is? Wut?

Still, Istanbul's gonna win.

 

[NetMapel]

Rooting for Istanbul.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Go Istanbul!

 

[Gorillaz]

Knew Tokyo would get skip even before the nuclear scare tactics. They probably didn't want one hemisphere (sort of) to have 2 Olympic games that close

Istanbul is my vote too

 

[Steelrain]

Nuclear fear mongering ruins everything.

More like incompetence ruins everything

 

[Funky Papa]

LOL FUCK THIS SHIT we're out

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Now watch those fuckers start working on their next (fourth? fifth? I honestly can't remember) Madrid bid.

 

[panty]

Fuck everything.

Hopefully Tokyo wins, Istanbul pls

 

[kingkitty]

Radiation issues versus Syrian border

who will win? Not Madrid!

Attack on Titan opening ceremony here we come.

 

[LeleSocho]

Go Tokyo!

 

[breakfuss]

Least familiar with Istanbul, so I I hope it's there.

 

[Steelrain]

Istanbul please!

 

[shira]

Thread-whining isn't something I'd advise, but yes, to a sizable portion of the world population, it does matter.

So China and India have priority?

 

[milanbaros]

Tokyo got this easy.

 

[Rayis]

GO TOKYO GO!

 

[Hrothgar]

Rather have Istanbul, otherwise everything will be aired during the night.

 

[Lach]

WTH! Are they going to draw the announcement out?!?!?!?

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

tomorrow?
edit: ah, 5pm

 

[kingkitty]

...and now we have to wait till 5pm to know?

yeah fuck this

 

[Razorskin]

Better not be Madrid!

Madrid is out, the final round of voting was between Istanbul and Tokyo

 

[Majine]

Yup, drawing that announcement out.

 

[NYR]

WTH! Are they going to draw the announcement out?!?!?!?

The suitcases full of bribe money take time to fill, bro.

 

[Rommel]

Tokyo!

 

[Funky Papa]

That's the real tragedy of this. At this rate, the opening ceremony will be held by Esperanza Aguirre's head in a glass jar.

That actually sounds somewhat tempting.

 

[Simplet]

To be fair everyone would have bitched and moaned if they had just droned the announcement ceremony at the end of this borefest. They need at least a tiny bit of excitement.

Still rooting for Istanbul! Go turks!

 

[sirap]

Oh god Tokyo would be a nightmare. Gonna be crowded as fuck.

 

[Metroxed]

Madrid out, the best thing that could happen (to us).

 

[Kapsama]

please not Istanbul. Turkey is poorer than greece in 2006 and has less interest in the Olympics. it'll be another disaster.

 

[Kenka]

I like Japan but it would be awesome to have the Olympics in Turkey.

please not Istanbul. Turkey is poorer than greece in 2006 and has less interest in the Olympics. it'll be another disaster.

Well, they are having a good economical phase now and they have big staidums, and all the swimming pools ready. That's a plus.

 

[GrizzNKev]

tokyoooooooooo

pls win
