Schwarzenegger backs Los Angeles for 2016 Olympics


Los Angeles and Chicago submitted detailed1 plans for the 2016 Summer Olympics to the U.S. Olympic Committee on Monday, a major step in the process to decide which city will bid for the games next year.

 
The so-called bid books contain 19 sections, detailing every aspect of the cities' plans to woo international decision-makers to their outline of their prospective2 Olympic villages, venues3 and media operations.


The USOC evaluation4 commission will travel to Los Angeles on Feb. 28 and to Chicago on March 5 for two-day inspections5. The USOC will announce its applicant6 city on April 14.


The candidate city must be submitted to the International Olympic Committee on Sept. 15. The host will be chosen in 2009. Other cities that have expressed interest in hosting the 2016 Games are Madrid, New Delhi, Prague, Rio de Janeiro, Rome and Tokyo.


The Los Angeles bid emphasizes Southern California's existing venues, its travel and tourism infrastructure7, and its close ties to the media and entertainment industries.


It includes the use of historic Olympic venues like the Coliseum and newer arenas8 such as Staples9 Center, Honda Center and Home Depot10 Center, which didn't exist when the city hosted the 1984 Summer Olympics.


Chicago's committee put together a 1,200-page outline that includes 25 athletic11 venues, of which about 65 percent are already built, said Chicago 2016 spokesman Patrick Sandusky.


Vocabulary:


candidate city: 候选城市


Coliseum：体育场，竞技场
