The International Olympic Commitee made two eliminations in the run for 2016 Olympic Games. Chicago and Tokyo are no longer contenders for the games and there are a still only Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Spain left as contenders.

It seems that even if President Obama took time to go visit the Olympic Commitee, it did not help the chances of Chicago of having the honor of organizing the games.

All the cities gave the proposals on Friday and after that the members of the IOC decided on which countries should be still included in the game, and which should not.

As for other countries, Spain’s King Juan Carlos and the Queen Sofia accompanied with President Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero are going to work on promoting the possible 2016 Madrid Olympics.

For Brazil, the President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is going to take Pele – a soccer hero – to present their plans for the games in Rio.

Olympic games are the pinnacle of athletics. There are many atheletes whose main goals are always set for the olympics and the only train in cycles of four year to peak their condition for the one important day that they will have. It is the dream of all the athletes who ever start doing sports to one day be in the olympics and to win. Also it has become a great honour for the country and the city which is organizing the games.

Michelle Obama has announced that United States is going to apply for the 2016 Olympic Games, and that they will be held in Chicago. “It’s a battle — We’re going to win” said Michelle Obama the first lade at the White House State Dining Room. On thursday her husband – The President – is going to fly to Denmark where the Olympic Commitee is reviewing bids. It is going to be the very first time that a president of United States is taking so much interest in the Olympic Games.

It seems that Obama sees the possiblities in this to lift the ecomony out of the gutter. With the games there comes heaps of tourism and income from tickets, hotels, merchandise and other income.
