The actual favourite is Chicago. It ranks highest for infrastructure, money and support in the IOC evaluation. It will also be 20 years after the last summer games in America which is about the right timeframe (the games seem to go to Europe and America once every 20 years).

Hmmm!
1 gold in Atlanta
18ish golds in Beijing

I have a bad feeling about Chicago!

Tokyo has it all for me

Im sure everyone will conclusively agree that Baku has been undeservedly overlooked.[y]

Tokyo has the highest Olympic bid score (8.3) out of the four contenders. I think Tokyo would do a great (and highly efficient) job of hosting the games!

Thanks,

Very true. But Paris fell into the trap of believing they had the games before they got it.

A a lot will depending on the happenings in Copenhagen.

I felt kind of sorry for Qatar, they hosted a brilliant Asia Games a couple of years back but sadly the idea of holding the games in October did not go down well at all.
