Paris (2012) raté ...
Encore une fois ! |
Once again ! Rather than repeating myself please refer to a former message of mine to know what I think about this. I hear "4 votes gap: it was very close", "keep faith", "one day your prince will come", " lobbying, influence, climate, world context, English dynamism ", "proposal fully respectful of the IOC wims"... None of this can wash up the-slap-on-the-face feeling. Some reactions : President of the French Olympic Committee: ''Quite some time will pass before we ever deposit a new candidature". Thierry Rey: "Shall we assume that we are not wanted ". Let's be straight for a moment: 2016 will go to another continent (America or Africa), 2020 rather America -when Africa before- or Europe but not a major country after London choice then it'll go for a full turn. That means not before 20 years, setting a 100 years gap since last time! I'm wondering whether there is any chance to see the Games being held in my home country some day ... |
