Off topic, I know, but when is the next realistic chance for the games to be here in the states? Chicago would make a great summer site.
Boston looks like it's pulling out of the 2024 campaign. I doubt another US city makes a bid since we seemed to put everything into Boston. There's some serious competition as well: Rome, Paris and Hamburg. Our best bet is to not even waste money trying to win that bid.
I honestly think we'd have a good shot at the Winter games in 2026.

How Denver has not hosted a Winter Olympics boggles me
But there is such an anti olympic sentiment among most people now, the dont want the money wasted for their city to host it.
Not to mention it makes the city almost unliveable for the 2 weeks its in town.

Well I'd say we'd have a good shot for 2022 if we had made a bid.
The Olympics are awesome and I want the US to host them but probably a majority of people don't want anything to do with the Olympics. NYC's 2012 bid and Chicago's 2016 bid were shot down with the quickness during the vote and people were happy.

Hamburg? Would they give the Olympics to a German city ever again considering that last two were 1936 Berlin and 1972 Munich?
ETA: My winter vote would to Almaty, Kazakhstan. That'd truly be interesting.
