The 2016 Olympics are up for grabs - and it’s a toss up for the IOC between Chicago, Madrid, Rio de Janeiro & Tokyo. The news comes out today - so one city is about to change forever. Sporting News Today breaks down 3 reasons each city could win and 3 reasons each could lose - and it looks like it’s anybody’s game. Chicago’s a good pick - President Obama and Oprah think so - because of it’s picturesque scene on Lake Michigan. Madrid? They have more than 3/4 of the facilities completed, so it’s a city that’s ready to go. The Olympics have never been to South America, making Rio a great choice as well. And Tokyo? They’ve got a big focus on environmental sustainability, which is a hot topic of late. So really, 2016 could have the Olympics anywhere, but where will the IOC pick?
