Re: Congratulations London ...
and your point is?
SF had a far superior bid, but NY came in bawling and won sympathy votes from US Olympic committee to be nominated as US candidate. Serves them right to see that they were not even in the top-3 when pitched against world wide competition. Plus the indifference of New Yorkers, infact a rather strange hostility to have Olympics there, should be filed for records, in case a future mayor of NY pushes for another bid.
