Olympics 2016 – all candidate cities present themselves at ISPO SpoBiS

The list of the cities bidding for 2016 reads like a who is who of the global city rankings: Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro, Madrid and Chicago are competing to gain the favour of the International Olympic Committee

(IOC) and be selected to host the Games in 2016. In the forum “International Sports Preview” Ramiro Lahera (Marketing & Sponsorship Manager Madrid 2016), Hidetoshi Maki (Deputy director general Tokyo 2016 Bid Committee) and Ricardo Leyzer (National Secretary for the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Bidding) will be present to report on the current status of preparations and how they hope to win points with the IOC up to October 2009. The discussion at ISPO SpoBiS could be a crucial factor for the selection since many delegates from IOC and all major companies in sport business are present at the conference in Munich.
