MADRID!

I'd put money on Istanbul. IOC's been pushing for non-traditional and developing cities like Beijing and Rio as of late.

i live in istanbul (and im korean) but what the news tells you is an extreme exaggeration
the protests only take place in one place. the rest of the city is in relative calm.
plus, these days, protests are about syria or egypt, not about turkey or the shopping center
Tokyo has the infrastructure to handle a huge event like this too. They have a very large public transport system with two major airports so I think ideally it would be them. Not to say Madrid can't compare... it would just seem that Tokyo is better for stability.
I'd also seriously consider going...
Adelaide FTW
Yeah wasn't even a candidate. In fact I don't think they even applied.
I had a look at Tokyo's bid a while back and I must say its very well done, certainly puts them in a good position. I don't know how well the other two have made their bids though.
Also Tokyo has the fact that its an Asian city to add to its chances, whilst the Olympics were in Asia in 2008, this is apparently the "Asian Century" and I have little doubt that will influence certain country's votes.
My personal preference would by Tokyo.
However, I would expect Istanbul.

This is the bidindex update
BID CHG INDEX Istanbul (IST) 0.51 61.45 Madrid (MAD) 2.27 58.76 Tokyo (TKY) 0.17 62.14Your BID thing is just a random mathematical calculation and has no barring on the actuality of a city getting it.

Plus Tokyo's only 149 miles from Fukushima.
Nothing to worry about with that....
Bad attempt at sarcasm? Of course there is nothing to worry about. Lather on some iodine and you'll be fine.

Tokyo have this one in the bag;
After the problems that have plagued the Rio and Sochi games, the Olympic Committee is wanting a safe and reliable city to host the games.
Turkey have dashed any hopes after the recent treatment of protesters, also Turkey has political issues with some of its neighbors and there just happens to be the oh so small conflict in Syria which no one really knows how it will pan out.
Madrid is going for the cheap and cheerful approach to Olympic hosting, sounds great at first until you realise Olympic budgets nearly always balloon from the projections... Does Spain have the financial will to continue investing huge amounts in infrastructure and construction even after the budget is exceeded or will they end up doing a half-assed job?
I'd be wrong to say Japan didn't have political issues and problems of its own, radioactive water leaks being one of them, but it is the safest Olympic choice.
