offer Pin ISTANBUL 2004for the 2004 Summer Olympics

A record number of cities, 11, have submitted offers to host the 2004 Olympics by yesterday\'s deadline, the International Olympic Committee reported.

The candidates are: Athens; Buenos Aires; Cape Town, South Africa; Istanbul; Lille, France; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Rome; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Seville, Spain; Stockholm and St Petersburg, Russia. Three of them have previously hosted the Games - Athens (1896), Stockholm (1912) and Rome (1960).

The previous highest number of candidates for the Summer Olympics was seven for the 2000 Games. There were nine buyers for the 2002 Winter Games, secured by Salt Lake City. IOC officials will meet technical representatives of the 11 cities in Lausanne on 23 Jan to discuss the offerding process. The cities must submit official offer documents, including details of financing, infrastructure and sports venues, by 15 Aug.

A special IOC electoral college will reduce the field to four, or at most five, finalists in late March or early April 1997. The host city will be selected at the IOC session in September 1997.

Five cities made the shortlist with theiroffers to host the2004 Summer Olympics(formally known asGames of the XXVIII Olympiad), which were awarded toAthens, on September 5, 1997. The other shortlisted cities wereRome,Cape Town,StockholmandBuenos Aires.

Final selection

In the first round of voting, Buenos Aires and Cape Town tied with the lowest number of votes. Round two was therefore a tie-breaker round between the two cities, with Buenos Aires being eliminated. Stockholm was the next city to be eliminated followed by Cape Town. The final round saw Athens receive enough votes to defeat Rome and win the right to host the2004 Summer Olympics.

Official voting results

Athens was the leader in all rounds of voting, except in Round 2, which was a tie-breaker due to a first round tie between Cape Town and Buenos Aires. Cape Town won that round over Buenos Aires, before losing out in the 4th round.
