Absolutely not!! India is a very poor country. They have no traffic control. They are very poor. Too many traffic and those people who honking on the streets. They won't be India. Find somewhere else.

With India, I would consider the Pakistani threat. I can't see it happening. Why have such a risk when there are better places.

Right, it is very extremely dangerous. It could be threat. I think they have find another country. India is not an options.

unless there is a meltdown, the next games are Istanbul's to lose. I can't think of a more deserving up and coming world city. Of course if it has to be the USA, then I root for LA.

That's how I see it as well. Although I would prefer DC over yet another LA games.

If the US doesn't land the games in 2024, Canada will surely throw it's hat in the ring for 2028. It will have been 48 years since Montreal 1976 and Toronto will be itching to land the Olympics with the troubles at City Hall long a distant memory.

We would give the US a good shot of getting it in 2024, even more so because the competition isn't looking that hot. And although Los Angeles has held the Olympics twice before if they get it a third time its very good news for the city.
