Chicago inched closer to hosting the 2016 Summer Games today as the U.S. Olympic Committee announced it will float a bid and Chicago organizers followed up by saying they have raised the $25 million in private donations needed to back a bid.

After an evaluation process that lasted more than a year, the USOC chose to put forth a candidate in an international field likely to include Tokyo; Rome; Doha, Qatar; and Rio de Janeiro.

Chicago and Los Angeles are the finalists to represent the United States.

The USOC will pick its American city at an April 14 board meeting.
Which city do you believe will get the bid and why?

Wouldn't it have been great if they had gone to Paris? Nip over on the ferry to gay paris for a long weekend, watch some sport. A few nights out in the capital, hop on a ferry, and come back with some duty free. And, the country did not have to pay a penny.

No white elephants, no security problems, and no mess to clear up after just 1 month of festivities. What do you think?

Do you think wushu should be an olympic sport? Wushu practitioners from around the world have vied for a spot for this sport to be added to the summer olympics.

Personally I think it should be added, however, I think some people would find it to be biased in favor of the country that invented it (China), since they train far more (usually-not always) than their counterparts in other countries. Some feel that the martial aspect of wushu would be lost, as people try to get the larges 720 jumps and backflips etc. Wushu has been an international sport for sometime and martial art.

What do you think?

My brother does martial arts and all that stuff, but it's bugging him that he can't do a back-flip. He's afraid of falling on his head and killing him self, Lol.

Do you have any hint's that he can use to get ready for it? Or is there something online that can show him how to do it?

Thank you.
