| Paris is leading the race to host the 2012 Olympics, London Mayor Ken Livingstone said today.
Weve closed the gap on Paris, but the truth is, Paris is still ahead, he told LBC radio. No city is close to a majority on the first ballot. The final decision, made by the International Olympic Committees 117 members in Singapore on July 6, is still up for grabs, he predicted. Madrid, New York and Moscow are also in the running with London in one of the strongest-ever Olympic host shortlists. Bookmakers William Hill have Paris as 4/7 favourite despite the pay strikes which crippled the transport network during this months IOC inspection visit. Londons bid, which endured bad publicity during the inspectors visit because Mr Livingstone likened a Jewish reporter to a Nazi concentration camp guard, is 11/8 second favourite. New York, which has problems over securing its main stadium, is at 10/1. Security concerns may effect Madrid and Moscows bids which respectively stand at 25/1 and 66/1. Mr Livingstone said: At most Paris has got about 30 votes. We have 25 votes and none of the other cities has more than 20, and weve got about 30 to 40 delegates yet to express an opinion. If in the end it is Paris and London, the people who voted for Moscow, New York and Madrid will say what is my second vote. It remains difficult to tell which way the IOC is swaying. Mr Livingstone said: The thing is these people are so skilled at not indicating which they favour and so when they are in any city, everyone thinks this is going really well because they are really good at avoiding bad press coverage. They should give us all a lesson. |

| There is cause for cautious optimism in Moscow after the visit of the International Olympic Committee, which apart from expressing strong interest in Moscow's bid, provided help on how the plan could be improved.
Valery Shantsev, Deputy-Mayor of Moscow and Chairman of the 2012 Bid Committee, stated at the Press Conference yesterday that "We have thoroughly enjoyed our time with the Evaluation Commission and are grateful to them for their strong interest in Moscow and our bid as well as their guidance on how we can improve our plan". The Deputy Mayor stated that "momentum is building behind our bid" and added that the Olympic River Concept is an "exceptional plan", which "will prove very popular with IOC Members when they come to make their choice in July". Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov is also optimistic, stating that "There is no question that Moscow would host historic, spectacular games in 2012". He described the conversations with the IOC team as "excellent", declaring that "their friendship and guidance during this week made a lasting impression on us all". As IOC Member and Olympic champion Alexander Popov said, "No-one has any idea how my colleagues will vote" in July, when the decision is made. The five candidates (Moscow, London, Paris, New York and Madrid) have all presented strong bids and the notion is now that there are no outsiders, which means that all of these cities could have a chance. Does Moscow have the edge? The Olympic River Concept is a brilliant way to optimize what mother nature gave to this city: the River Moskva. All the venues will be near to the river banks and so the natural waterway can carry athletes and spectators from one venue to the next, meaning zero pressure on public transportation (which is excellent in any case) and diminishing substantially the threat of terrorist attacks on crowded, restricted spaces. In any case, should the bid be granted to Moscow, there will be a special department with 79.000 emergency services personnel created seven years before the event. Readiness is the word. In terms of accommodation and infra-structures, Moscow is at an advantage over the other cities, because 65% of the proposed facilities already exist. In terms of technical excellence, Moscow's long and successful history in hosting major sports events is an added bonus. Choosing Moscow as the venue for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games would be a reassurance that Russia's commitment to international peace and security, development and friendship, using the UNO as the proper forum for crisis management, has been recognized and rewarded by the international community, as mankind strives to move beyond the carrot and stick, shock and awe approach to international relations adopted by some. Choosing Moscow for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games would bring added value to this great, thriving and exhilarating city, opening it to the main tourist circuit, which it undoubtedly deserves, and providing a framework to guarantee a lasting development in Moscow's economic and social status while at the same time Moscow and the international community would come together in an eternal embrace of friendship. |
