My vote goes to Guadalajara, it's an incredibly Green and Beautiful City. Full of life.

Would be good to see Lillehammer host these, as they did a great job with the 94 Olympics

Would be good to see Lillehammer host these, as they did a great job with the 94 Olympics

These are Youth Summer Games though. But I wouldn't be surprised if Lillehammer hosts a Youth Winter Games in the future.

Guadalajara estará lista para estos juegos, ya que en 2011 es la sede para los Juegos Olímpicos Panamericanos.
Una vez que esto esté listo los JOJ serán bienvenidos.
Arriba Guadalajara...

GUYS WAT IS POZNAN DOING????
WHY DOES IT WANNA BID!!!!!!!!

Why Poznań shouldn't bid? It is a medium sized european city with quite strong economy and a lot of expirience in big events. It is one of four polish Euro 2012 hosts.

Athletics stadium on Golęcin. When we host this event they will be build some new stands.

According to your criteria... Atlanta has Olympic summer games in 1996, Chicago hopes win to 2016 :nuts:

More important are the proposals and Guadalajara have them :cheers:

Eh, I still think Poznan is better choice. BUT, that's just my opinion. ;) As long as China doesn't get it.. I'm happy. They didn't deserve the 08 Olympics.. but that's a whole other story.. which is not on this topic. :)

obviously Gdl !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol::lol::lol:

Guadalajara is the best candidate :)

Without beijing 2008 and singapure 2010, nanjing would be the only and the best option for the IOC.

You spelt Poznań wrong. Anyway, Poznań is obviously the better city. It will be ready for the games since it is a host city for UEFA Euro 2012. A stadium with a capacity of 45,830 is currently under construction and will be complete by 2010. It already has an olympic swimming pool.

Guadalajara will host the 2011 Pan American Games so it would have already staged a type of "olympics". China recently hosted the summer olympics so Nanjing has a low chance. That only leaves Poznań as the only probable host since the city or Poland never hosted an olympics. After Euro 2012 Poznań will be even more modern after all of its current investments are complete.

Buddy,
The info given in this article seems misplaced.
New Delhi never was officially in the race for an event of such a low magnitude event. Anyother Indian city like Hyderbad (Hosted World CISM 2007 - which is now being hosted by RIO Summer candidate) or Pune (Commonwealth Youth Games in 2008) are sufficient for these. You can check for these on the web. These hav better faccilities than SIngapore.

You spelt Poznań wrong. Anyway, Poznań is obviously the better city. /hochtief_en/img/content/8527_3_full.jpg[/IMG]

Poznań, not Poznán :)

Posen. ;)

What are the requirements for the opening venue?

Guadalajara pulls out of 2014 youth Olympic Games bid race, after poor IOC EC Report.

http://www.insidethegames.biz/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=8834%3Aguadalajara-pull-out-of-race-to-host-2014-summer-youth-olympics&catid=1%3Alatest-news&Itemid=73

So its only Nanjing and Poznan....

How is Nanjing the favorite? Is the IOC really going to choose another asian city?

Nanjing in seen as the favorite because they aced the 2014 IOC Y.O.G's Evaluation Commission Report.

While Singapore is already hosting the first (2010) edition of these newborn games, I don't think continental rotation is gonna be too much of a factor here (especially if the best bid for this is coming from Asia, & to boot from China, where they'll make sure everything is in place on time), since Jacques Rogge is gonna want some major confidence that his pet-project goes off without a hitch right from the starting gate, so he could try to persuade his fellow IOC peers to vote for Nanjing.

The only way I could see Poznan winning, is if most of the members feel they should rotate, especially to countries where hosting the real Olympic Games would be beyond their reach at this time. And if their plan is at least decent enough, in their view, to pass.

Turns out they arent withdrawing their bid even though they recieved the worst report from the comittee.

http://insidethegames.biz/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=8776:guadalajara-claim-they-are-committed-to-2014-summer-youth-olympics-race&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=1

POZNAN, POLAND - January 8th 2010 - The IOC Evaluation Commission today published its report on the 3 cities bidding to host the 2nd edition of the Youth Olympic Games in 2014.

Poznan's plans received considerable praise from the Commission and following this report the Poznan2014 Bid Committee will now look into fine tuning some of the details of the bid to make the plans even more compelling. The final plans will be presented to all the IOC Members when they meet at the IOC Session in Vancouver on February 10th.

The Mayor of Poznan, Ryszard Grobelny said:

"We are greatly encouraged by the analysis of our bid received from the Evaluation Commission and their understanding of the strong guarantees to our plans provided by the governments of this city, the region and the Polish national government as well as the NOC, including a guarantee against any budget shortfall. The Commission's recognition of this city's ability to host major sporting events and our understanding of the Culture and Education Programme gives us even greater confidence that Poznan would be able to host a truly spectacular Youth Olympic Games in 2014. We thank the Evaluation Commission for their impressive work and positive statements on our bid and very much look forward to presenting our exciting plans to the full IOC Membership in Vancouver next month"

Poznan is bidding against Guadalajara, Mexico and Nanjing, China for the rights to host the 2014 Youth Olympic Games.

^^ Man.. I really hope Poznan wins. :) All that sports infrastructure will benefit the country as a whole.

Next up.... they should make a Winter Olympics bid some day in Zakopane. :D

^^ Man.. I really hope Poznan wins. :) All that sports infrastructure will benefit the country as a whole.

Next up.... they should make a Winter Olympics bid some day in Zakopane. :D

Any Polish city can bid for the Winter Olympics in winter ;) Zakopane bid before but they lost :(

And Warsaw is bidding for the 2020 Summer Olympics.

Yea I know they lost a while back. They should rebid again though. It's a beautiful place, and it fits the Olympics almost perfectly.

2020 Olympics in Warsaw?? As much as I'd love to see that happen.. it doesn't seem like a reality with all the other bids. But hey... if we got Euro2012... anything is possible. lol.

Well, it´s posible, if Rio could, why not Warsaw...? The only thing they need is infrastructure and teams to use it...

^^ Warsaw has all the teams it needs. I think the biggest issue is transport infrastructure. Although in 2020... I would predict a good system in place. By then.. the second metro line will be built and probably a new airport terminal at Okecie, as well as a regional/releaver airport at Modlin. I have full support for Warsaw in 2020. :D But first Poznan 2014! We shall know the verdict in about half a day. :P

Because geopolitically speaking, it's not the same thing. You can't possibly even begin to compare Rio to Warsaw. For starters, Rio is at least twice the size than Warsaw.

Turns out they arent withdrawing their bid even though they recieved the worst report from the comittee.

Uhh, yes Guadalajara did in fact withdraw. That link you posted is a week older than the link I already posted (from the very same website) earlier in the thread before you posted the older article.

Later today, the IOC will chose between Nanjing or Poznan. Guadalajara is out of the picture now.

Nanjing just won the 2014 Youth Olympics.... ffs... what a rip off.

^^whaat :C I'm soo dissapointed :ohno: second YOG should have been held in Europe not in Asia again. But I'm aware their bid was really strong.

^^ Exactly. :(

Btw, where did u hear that? I can't find anything about the decision on polish sites.

Live broadcast.

It was like 5 minutes. Then they stopped the transmission.

As for media coverage.... I'm surprised the media don't say anything, especially in Poland. :|

Come on...another youth olympics in Asia? Great. Just great. I thought Poznan really had a good chance of winning this :(

I've read on polish forum that we lost only 42:47 :C It was so close...it's all about the money...eech maybe in 2018 ;) But it'd be better to bid in 2020 for Olympics in Warsaw, I mean regular summer olympic games. I'm pretty sure we have big chances.

^^ I read that too. I guess money is everything these days. >.<

Warsaw 2020. Let's do it!

As much as i want Warsaw to be chosen for 2020 i really doubt they will get it. There is huge competition for the 2020 Olympics. By the way, when are they choosing the hosts for that?

2013.

[...] i really doubt they will get it.[...]

yeah, the same thoughts was for EURO 2012 ;) we should not be so pesimistic.

this is crazy!!
another asian city?
Poznan should have won!!

To be fair is question of money, and venues, and infrastructure, and China has it almost all...

It was obvious but sometimes you expect David to beat Goliath... anyway, that shouldn't
dissapoint other countries for nexts bids...

That's a good thing in my book.
That you win based on how good your bid is, not if it has been in your continent or not.

I hope another Polish city bids for the 2018 edition. I think Poznań, Kraków, Wrocław, or Gdańsk should apply. Not Warsaw because they are bidding for the biggest prize of them all, the 2020 Summer Olympics.

If Poland does win the 2020 bid then we wont have the 2018 youth olympics and vice versa.

^^Poland has a much better chance at landing the Youth Olympic Games than the traditional event. There's just so much stronger competition out there for the traditional Games. Besides, has Poland made any 2020 intentions extremely clear? Since I haven't heard anything official about that in the least.

That's a good thing in my book.
That you win based on how good your bid is, not if it has been in your continent or not.

That's not how it really works, though, in selecting the hosts for the real Olympic Games. Just look at the 2016 vote.

These Youth Olympic Games are different because they're a newborn inception from the current IOC president, Jacques Rogge, & he would like to get validation for them. So he wants to make sure that his little pet-project goes off without a hitch. And the Chinese are sure to deliver the goods.

The poll was very wrong!

The poll was very wrong!

The poll was what the people wanted, not the committee. ;)

Here is the preliminary data future Olympic contenders from the master server of the International Olympic Committee on principle rotational continents and national groups:
