Chicago 2016 Update: 2016 Olympic bid cities announced

2016 Update

And then there were seven.

Chicago officially has some stiff competition for the 2016 Olympics. Baku, Doha, Madrid, Prague, Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo are also in the running with the Windy City.

Now what happens? The first phase, known as the Candidature Acceptance Procedure, will feature a review by the International Olympic Committee of each city’s potential to organize a successful Olympic Games in 2016. The second phase, the Candidature Procedure, will have city Olympic committees submit in-depth descriptions of their Olympic projects.

(You probably don’t want to read these 100+ page procedures, but I linked you to them anyway, just in case!)
