Well it has been a while since ummm Asia? Tokyo I'm guessing because Spain had it in 1992 and Istanbul is a bit iffy at the moment.
Bring back baseball, IOC, please! It would make me so happy!

I would rather T20 cricket. More countries play that than baseball I guess. Wresting should be back in even though I never watched it.

Japan has actually hosted the most Olympics of the three countries: Tokyo Summer 1964, Sapporo Winter 1972, and Nagano 1998.
My Japanese fanboy self is dancing inside. I'm happy for Tokyo for winning and was hoping they'd win. I know they have alot of problems right now with radioactive waste in Fukushima, but they could probably solve that in 7 years time. Since Istanbul being so close to Syria, I think the Olympic Committee figured it wouldn't be too safe with the war going on there. It's more likely that the war could be going on in Syria in 7 years than the situation in Tokyo.

With the way TEPCO is still handling things, unfortunatly its going to be more than 7 years for japan. I would like to go but with all of the things like radiation, im not willing to risk getting a major dose of radiation. If it was in Spain i would have maybe seen what i could do to go but im very leery about Tokyo since they still havent stopped the leaking radioactive water from going in the ocean. And with Instanbul, its not in a very stable region and is close to an area i will NOT travel to for ANY REASON
Well... there have been reports of radiation spikes in the Tokyo area over the years. knowing how well the whole situation has been handled over the past 2.5 years doesnt put really any faith in me that the air and food supply are cleaned. with the prime minister and 98% of all politicans, i trust him as much as far as i can throw a huge mega sized cathedral pipe organ. I hugely doubt a wall of ICE will stop RADIATION from leaking out. it may contian radioactive water by freezing it but it doesnt stop the Radiation aspect. If it wasnt for the fear of Radiation, i would love to go to tokyo! I do find it odd that Tokyo wins and they still are dealing with the Fukushima problems still 2 years later. I dont know how voting is determined but there could have been some other factors in the voting process that would help determine who wins each 4 yearsWell I should of added that Tokyo isn't exactly close to Fukushima meaning they're way far away from any radiation there so I'm pretty sure it's safe. They wouldn't build any facilities in the radiation area and they figured Tokyo is far enough from the radiation site to assure it's safe for people to walk and live on. Japan's prime minister each reassured it will be safe.
