LONDON ELECTED HOST-CITY OF THE 2012 OLYMPIAD
The Summer Olympic Games of 2012 will take place in London. In the vote of
the International Olympic Committee in Singapore London beat Paris with an
advantage of 4 votes in the decisive 4th round. The latter was considered
the favorite both by the experts and by the bookmakers.
This can be considered a surprise. Before the vote everyone guessed that
Paris will win even without the 4th round. But the applications of both
cities were almost equal. The other applicants were Moscow, New York and
Madrid.
According to the International Olympic Committee head Jaques Rogge, the
least probable applicants were New York and Moscow.
