Where will the 2010 Olympics be held?

It is (I know this for sure, because I am going there this summer) happening in British Columbia, Canada. More specifically, Vancouver, and the surrounding areas. There are numerous mountains for the downhill (skiing and snowboarding) events to take place at. The indoor events (ice skating, curling, etc.)- as well as the opening/ closing ceremonies- will happen right in Vancouver. I'm not sure where the nordic, and other outdoor events will happen, but probably just outside the city. They have really great facilities everywhere, so even though they have a lot of work to do, they already have a great head start. Also, I know from experience, the village at Whistler/ Blackcomb are great "tourist" attractions, and there is a great deal to do right in Vancouver.

I think Africa or South America should host the 2016 games, since neither continent has had the opportunity yet.

I would certainly be very interested to see the Olympics in Istanbul, but somehow fear that because London (host of the 2012 Olympics) is nearby that might preclude Turkey from hosting the Games.

First, there have been quite a few times when a country has hosted both the Summer and Winter Olympics together. These Olympics included;\n\n1924 (France) – Summer was in Paris and the Winter was in Chamonix\n\n1932 (USA) –Summer was in Los Angeles, California and the winter was held in Lake Placid, New York\n\n1936 (Germany) –Summer was in Berlin and the winter was in Garmisch-Partenkirchen\n\nSecond, there has also been the Roman Numeral Number of an Olympics been held for both summer and winter Olympic games. These games included;\n\nIII – St. Louis, Missouri hosted the Games of the III Olympiad in 1904 and Lake Placid hosted the Games of the III Winter Olympics in 1932\n\nXXI – Montreal, Quebec Canada hosted the Games of the XXI Olympiad in 1976 and Vancouver will host the XXI Winter Olympics in 2010\n\nFinally, If Sochi, Russia does host the 2014 Winter Olympic Games, Sochi will be the host of the XXII Winter Olympic Games while Moscow, Russia hosted Games of the XXII Olympiad in 1980.

How many other Latin America countries could host an Olympic Games?

The World Cup isn't the Olympics, which is hosted by a single city.\nThe World Cup is awarded to a country, who should have around 6 or more stadia.\nThe major cities in that country will host games.\n\nSouth Africa will host the 2010 tournament. Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban are likely to be among the cities, where matches will be played.

2010 will be in South Africa and the 2014 world cup will be held in South America, most likely Brazil. It was either Brazil or USA. In the end the decided on Brazil.

I go with Australia. We showed with a successful 2000 Olympics we are extremely capable of hosting world class sporting events and the venues left from the Olympics could be easily upgraded to the standard of world class stadiums. We are friendly people on the whole and would welcome everyone. That would be fantasic for us fans as being so far away from the rest of the world we don't get to see the best of the best play live. Australian's would love the opportunity to learn and grow from an experience like that.

I think that there will be a tight race between the USA,, Canada, Russia and probably Germany or something like that. However, my bets are on the USA, considering that we always have one of the largest amount of athletes participating in the Olympics than any other country.

very definitely yes. Could be even sooner in 2016. Leading cities would be New York, Chicago, San Fran, and Philly.\nUSA is very important to the IOC on many levels (brilliant history, avid fan support, money from sponsors, broadcast and marketing, past success at hosting great Games). It seems to me if New York bid again it would be a done deal. The others would launch strong bids and would be worthy hosts. LA, Minneapolis and Houston are also interested but I don't know much about their plans so I have no opininion although all are nice places.\n Also take into account that from 2000 -2012 no summer Games were held in in North America and The IOC likes to spread it around so-to-speak.\n Toronto would be a great contender for North America and competitor to a USA bid but not seen as likely given the 2010 Winter Games are going to be held in amazing Vancouver.\n IOC would love to see a Games in South America and Africa eventually and so would I. My best guess is NYC in 2016 and either Rio or Buenos Aires for 2020. Check out some sources below.\n I live in San Jose but no matter where they are I'll be there.
