I'm gonna have to throw a coin to decide which of the two's London though :rolleyes:
Now may I ask you what qualifies London and New York in your eyes - except the fact that they both aren't in France?

There is always something to do with promoting a town for some good reason. After 11/9 and rebuilding something in place of the WTC I think NY would be a good place for Olympic Games and people may be keen to help getting them well done. And NY is well known for very popular athletic meetings like its marathon, some kind of model for people living in towns getting fat and on another hand trying to do some sport. I suppose those games would be the contrary of those in LA when nothing new was built.
Now for London my mistake. I missed the 1948 OG. London not qualified any more.
Madrid is in Spain and Barcelona got the '92 OG. The show was great but Spain is too small to get them again as soon as that.
Paris got the Football (soccer) World Cup some years ago against people will. The Parisians were completely fussed and showed as much as they could their disappointment to foreigners. The French are very unsporty people. They use their car as much if not more than other people but don't live in it (no drive-in restaurants and theaters), so they feel they needn't sport.
Moscow got the games some 25 years ago. No comment.
