The next three summer Olympics will be in Tokyo (2020), Paris (2024), and
Los Angeles (2028). LA was just announced.

Brings back memories of the big party Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley threw
some years ago in Daley Plaza for the big announcement by the IOC of the
finalists to host the 2016 Olympics. The big screen lit up, the crowd
hushed, and the first words out of Mr Rogge's mouth were, "First of all,
Chicago is out." Collective sigh and "Oh, <bleep>!"

And that was the cue for Mayor Daley to retire. A five-second happening
ushered in the new Rahm Emanuel era.
