          2022: Oslo out.

          Stoking some of that anger was the IOC's list of demands for an Oslo bid, which included a cocktail reception with Norway's king, with the tab on either the royal family or the Norwegian Olympic Committee. Among the IOC's other demands:
          • Cars and drivers for IOC members, with special dedicated highway lanes
          • Street lights synchronized to prioritize IOC traffic
          • Separate airport entrance for IOC members
          • Hotel mini-bars must have only Coca-Cola products
          • Samsung phones for all IOC members
          • All meeting rooms must be kept at exactly 68 degrees.
          • All furniture must have "Olympic appearance."
          • "IOC members will be received with a smile on arrival at hotel"


          Oslo joins a decorated list of municipalities that have declined to pursue Olympic bids, or dropped out of the running after residents voted against it. Invariably, each blamed the rising cost and invisible benefits of hosting the Olympics. Among those who withdrew are Krakow, Poland; Stockholm, Sweden; Munich, Germany; Davos/St. Moritz, Switzerland; and Lviv, Ukraine, which dropped out just before the IOC selected three finalists (the only three cities remaining).

          With Oslo out, it's down to Beijing, China, and Almaty, Kazakhstan. The vote will be held on July 31, 2015, assuming one or both candidate cities don't drop out before then.

            Well we know China won't drop out because they're neck and neck with Putin for asserting world dominance.

              They should have also asked for 24/7 handjobs while they were at it. It would be slightly less ridiculous than some of their other demands.

              I'm rooting for Almaty. They have swimming pool with length thirty meter and width six meter.

                I really hope they go to Kazakhstan. Not only to watch Beijing's head explode (they've got to think they have this in the bag by now), but also because short of hosting the Winter Olympics in a jungle, I can't think of a better place to try and match Russia's fark ups during the planning and construction phase.

                  Given the trend that has come with hosting the Olympics in the past 15 years, I am so glad that Chicago missed out on 2016... My guess is that Kazakhstan will get the 2022 games since 2018 will be in Korea... This could be a tipping point for the Olympics however... If no one capable of hosting wants to host, they will only fail in a substandard local once.... The IOC isn't the most honorable organization, but I don't think they will want to get into something like FIFA/Qatar...

                    I'm hoping everybody drops out and the athletes hold their own games with no national teams. There is nothing wrong with the Olympics that getting rid of the flags wouldn't cure.
