What do you think it takes for I believe that if Atlanta,
Georgia USA can host the
Summer Olympic Games, then any
city in the world can host a
Summer Olympics as long as
they fit the following
qualifications.
1. The candidate city has to
be internationally known for
something other than their
sports or their entertainment.
2. The candidate city must
have a strong amount of public
transportation available
3. The candidate city must
have enough accommodation
available in the city and in
the metropolitan area.
4. The candidate city needs to
have enough attractions
available so that visitors can
be entertain when they are not
attending sporting events
5. The candidate city has to
have the security available to
handle the mass amount of
international visitors who
come to visit.
6. The candidate city must
have enough venues available
that can either be used or can
be built to accommodate the
athletics and spectators who
come and watch the events.

Financial backing from public and private interests. Not only that, the city has to have a decent world reputation and not be in the negative public eye over over things that would make anyone not want to come to that place. |

What Summer Sport(s) would you I just had a quick review of
the sports in the Summer
Olympic games, and I have to
say that I am not a big fan of
Rythmic Gymnastics or
Trampoline being Olympic Medal
sports. Which ones do you
think should be removed, and
what sport(s) do you think
should replace them? You get
extra points in my book if you
can explain your thoughts
rather than pursuing 2 Yahoo
Answers points with the
shortest possible response.

Half-pipe Skateboarding. There's already a number of nations that have great skateboarders, so it wouldn't be that hard to find athletes. I think that Synchronized Diving needs to go. There is nothing more boring than watching two people dive at the same time, let alone one by themself. |

I love the excitement when you see your home country walking around the circle. It gives you a sense of pride. The amazing athletes who play these glorious events should be recognized as great people (well almost everyone) |
