HERE IT COMES: We're About To Find Out The 2020 Olympic Host City
OlympicsAny minute now we'll find out the host city for the 2020 Olympic Games.
You can watch the announcement live here:
Around 100 members of the International Olympic Committee took part in the vote to select a city today in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with candidate cities Istanbul and Tokyo making it through to the final round of voting.
In total, three cities went to the Argentinian capital earlier today to make short presentations explaining why they should be host. Madrid went out in the first round of voting, and another round was held as no candidate had secured the required majority. The Spanish capital had touted the fact that 80 percent of its venues were already ready and only $1.9 billion was needed for construction, but concerns about the Spanish economy may well have hampered it's bid.
The 2012 Summer Games were held in London, while the 2016 Summer Games are due to be held in Rio de Janeiro.
