IOC shortlists candidates for 2016 Games
ATHENS, June 5: The IOC on Wednesday set up a clash of continents for the right to host the 2016 Games, with Chicago, Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro and Madrid advancing to the next round of the selection procedure.
The IOC’s 15-member executive board narrowed down a list of hopefuls that also included Doha, Prague and Baku, whose bids were eliminated. The full IOC body will elect the 2016 Games host by secret ballot in Copenhagen in October 2009.—AFP
