the blog

In my opinion, I like this blog "Chicago & Windy Olympics 2016 " because it is very clean and easy to read.

The best blog

In my opinion every blog has great value and every person did good job.So it's hard to choose.But i do like it blog presented by Leslaw,Sajeed,Venkat.Good work boys and good luck...:):)

The best blog

I think the best blog blongs Sajeed, because i think that he wrote very basic and simple, i mean there is no unnecessary information. He support my idea with diffrent perspective, so he gave me new opinions about olympics.

North Avenue Beach

It was a great day. I went to North Ave Beach with my teacher and one of my classmate by my teacher's old car :) It was funny travel for me. When we arrrived there, we were lucky, because we could find a parking lot easily eventhough big crowded. It was a unique day in Chicago, because the weather was hot, i mean really hot.That's why, all Chicago run to there. I can not blame them, because weather was unusual and great, North Ave Beach was also great. Everybody was having fun there. They were playing volleyball, frisbee...that's why i was not even one available volleyball net.People were walking with the dogs, running,exercising, riding bikes and rollerblading, swimming, and i swam, too. It was my first time that i swam this summer.

ofcourse chicago

Olympics seasons comes closer, and everybody who likes olympics starts to get excited. Everybody has same question mark in their mind. Which city will be HOST CITY for these olympics.In my opinion, ofcourse Chicago has the best chance of winning. Furthermore i honestly think it has the best proposal,because the city has enough experience, infrastructure and richness to afford and greet people. In my opinion, hosting for olympics is good for a city, because the city can develop with that, can be more rich, and people can meet different cultures...I checked all website about candidate cities for olympics, and i can say that Rio has the best website, because when i see it, i just wanted to go to see that wonderful beaches, friendly, warm and funny people eventhough i think Rio doesn't have enough infrastructure for olympics. However i thougt that Tokyo has the best logo, because the logo that Tokyo has is more creative.The logo ties the five olympic colors in the form of a traditional Japanese knot. However. as i mentioned before Chicago can make its bid better, because of the experience, modernity, richness, infrastructure...The cost of the infrastructure will be financed by the government of Chicago, and Chicago's(USA) government is the richest one. However, i would like to see Rio or Tokyo win. I would like to tell IOC, accept all cost of everything about olympics and give a chance to introduce Rio to World, because Rio is the most beautiful city among candidate, but doesn't have enough money to afford olympics.

Final discussions


As a group we think the best chance to win the Olympic 2016 is Rio de Janerio.Why?We honestly think will be good for this country.Latin America has never hosted Olympic before.Also culture and passion for sport in this country.We saw many times Europe,North America ,Asia hosted Olympians and maybe right now is time for changes.We also think Rio's proposal is strong enough to bring Games to this city.Brazil’s resilient economy is an important string in the Rio 2016 bow. Brazilians are also well known and credible on the world stage in terms of organizing mayor events. After the success of the 2002 South American Games and the Rio 2007 Pan American Games, Brazil also won the race to host the 2011 World Military Games, the 2013 Confederations Cup and the 2014 World Cup, boosting the country’s status as a sports hub.If you look all those candidates city website Rio's doesn't look so impressing and we decided Chicago website look good.It's very easy to access all those pages and is very clear.You can fast go and read all the info.If we look at the logo in our opinion Madrid has very interested logo.The hand’s colours represent unity among the different cultures, people, and nationalities that coexist in Madrid. The shape of the hand represents a friendly greeting where one appreciates the freshness of Madrid and its people. Bid for the Olympic is always hard thing to do it.Everybody try to do the best. We have very strong four cities and will be one winner.Of course nobody want to lose and after that we always ask question "maybe we could do more or maybe we should do that...etc" but the honest answer is it wasn't ment to be for us...Every single city has great chance and who ever will host the Olympic it's going to do well.We disscuss in our group and opinions were different.One of us want Tokyo to win ,other Rio and Chicago.Of course we came from around the world and each of us has different sentiment to every country.Let's see we are the representive of our city and we have to tell the IOC to convince them we would say "pick us"So we would like to wish all the best to Madrid,Rio,Chicago and Tokyo and for those who loose "don't worry always is next time".....See ya in Copenhagen on 2th October....
