"Last Post" Yahhhhhhh



Mary and Bee think the best city has chance of winning is Marid because it is more readily than others cities and has the best proposal. They have bigger airport that has 4 terminals than others cities. They already have completing new swimming and tennis venues (The Magic Box) and Olympic stadium and looking to expand and modernize existing sporting facilities.

We think hosting Olympic Games is good for a city because the game create jobs, bring civic pride and bring green.

We like Chicago website http://www.chicago2016.org/ and logo are the best for us. We like the way how they present websites. Nice pictures, interesting infomation, easy to look up at things and created logo.
We think the way of city make bid better is making people interested in the city by presenting the website and the proposal.

Rio de Janeiro is the city that we like to see it win because we want it to be a hosted of Olympics Game in 2016. We think Rio is a beautiful and interesting city and South America continent need opportunity to be a hosted. Rio is a tropical city and will have about seven years to renovate their city and make it hospitable for the entire world. It has the wealth.

We would like to tell IOC about Rio is the city that made the most of the technical briefing in Lausanne. Rio was a strategic and fundamental opportunity, because of all four countries Brazil is the only one that never held Olympic Games, and that is why it generated greater curiosity and interest for IOC members. Rio is hosted the World Cup gives an added guarantee that 'key infrastructures - technology, telecommunications, accommodation, airports - will be ready, complete and tested two years earlier. So that for sure Rio is ready to be hosted.

Obama would be a good spokesperson for Chicago because he is a pressident in USA and People around the world know him.

Field Trip




Hi everybody , I want to tell you about a good time when was last Wednesday.We are see very nice Olympics place and a late people who riding a bike and run. We rented bikes in Nave Pier and went on them around. I'll tell you about why we went to the Olympics places, and what is worth seeing.Olympic Village will feature a high level of comfort and convenience in an inspiring lakefront setting. The Village will offer a full range of services, amenities, training facilities and dining and entertainment options.Between competitions athletes and swim in the 50-meter recreational pool, relax at the private beach, or stroll along the promenade to the lakefront amphitheater.
Place worth seeing:
*,,Grant Park Archery Fields''
*,,Olympics Island"
*,,McCormick Place"
*Soldier Field - Football
We were in Grant Park Archery Fields this is very interesting the city's most dramatic skyscrapers, archery will literally take center stage. Next, Olympic Island is a 37-hectare oasis of green that offers sweeping views of the Chicago skyline. For the Games it will be transformed into Olympic Island, site of Olympic canoe/kayak slalom and beach volleyball competitions; and Olympic and Paralympic sailing.McCormick Place is North America's premier convention center. For the Games, it will be transformed into Lake Michigan Sports Complex, Chicago's "Olympic Park under a roof," featuring 11 Olympic and 8 Paralympic sport competitions, as well as the International Broadcast Center and Media Press Center. Soldier Field - Football The stadium hosted the Opening Ceremony and several competitions for the 1994 FIFA World Cup, as well as the 1999 Women's World Cup. Completely renovated in 2004, Soldier Field will again take center stage in the footballing world during the 2016 Olympic Tournament. Athletes will train on site and at three local universities: the University of Illinois at Chicago.
This was my good time!!!!

Madrid is the best city for us


The best city in our opinion for Olympics 2016 is Madrid. Transportation, Madrid is bigger airports, there are 45 million passengers and 4 terminals, than Rio and Tokyo. From the airport to Olympic villages only is 17 km. and just 10 or 15 mins that is so convinent. Venues, Madrid already has 8 venues, with 77 per cent already in place throughout the city. Therefore a rush to build would be significantly less than for other candidate cities. The all-important support from both the government and public in Madrid is already more than 90 per cent.

The east side of the city would be the ‘heart’ of the Games, referred to in the bid as the ‘Core Zone’. It will contain 15 sport areas for competition, including the Olympic village and the broadcast and press centre. The west side of the city, along the Manzanares river, and its environmental regeneration project, will represent the ‘lungs’ of the Olympic city. Known as the ‘River Zone’ this area is part of a long-term regeneration project. Green spaces will be created and parts of the river are to be reclaimed for use during the Olympics and afterwards. Those are interresting that they take care of Green not only for Olympic but afterwards also.

Symbol of Tokyo


Mount Fuji also called, as Fujiyama is the most poplar and undisputedly the number one landmark of Japan. It is located on the Southern Honshu Island and is the highest mountain in Japan, rising to 12,388 feet (3,776 m) near the Pacific coast in Yamanashi and Shizuoka ken, 100 km west of Tokyo, with the apex broken by a cone-shaped crater 610 m (2000 ft) in diameter.
Mount Fuji is relatively a young volcano and has attained its present shape about 5000 years ago and was a result of a series of volcanic activities by the Ashitakayama/Ko-Mitake (Small Mitake), Ko-Fuji (Old Fuji) and Shin-Fuji (New Fuji) volcanoes. The Ko-Mitake volcano is dormant since 100 thousand years ago. The Ko-Fuji volcano, which formed the base of the current, Mount Fuji was active between 100 thousand and 10 thousand years ago. Shin-Fuji volcano which is responsible for the mountain’s current shape started to erupt about 10 thousand years ago and erupted repeatedly for over 100 times during a period of about 10 thousand years. Mount Fuji last erupted on November 24, 1707 and has been sleeping since then, but still the geologists regard it as an active volcano.

Cherry Blossom in Tokyo


The cherry blossom (sakura) is Japan's unofficial national flower. It has been celebrated for many centuries and holds a very prominent position in Japanese culture.
There are many dozens of different cherry tree varieties in Japan, most of which bloom for just a couple of days in spring. The Japanese celebrate that time of the year with hanami (cherry blossom viewing) parties under the blooming trees.

About Madrid Olympics 2016

Madrid, is a welcoming city and a true meeting point between different cultures, is the capital of the Kingdom of Spain and home to the Spanish Government, general Courts, other public administration, state institutions and bodies, and is also the official residence of the King and Queen of Spain. It is divided into 21 districts with a total area of 60,430.760 hectares and has a population of 3,128,600 people (according to the Spanish Statistics Institute), and this is forecast to increase to 6,238,101 by 2016.

For tourists Madrid provides a feast of culture with 133 museums and with the three most famous, the Prado, ReĆ­na Sofia and Thyssen all within six minutes’ walk of each another. Three world word heritage sites are within an hour of Madrid and the city’s nightlife is also unparalleled with over 3,000 restaurants to complement many bars, theatres, nightclubs and shops

Madrid's city government has agreed to guarantee the full budget for the Olympic Village should the Spanish capital be chosen as host of the 2016 Games. Madrid had 77 per cent of its infrastructure already completed, the city will guarantee the 871.9 million euros (C$1.37 billion) it needs to construct the village.

Madrid seem like ready to be hosted in 2016 but I don't think Madrid will get it becuase It is in the same continent of London which be hosted in 2012. There are couples more cities are interesting than it.
