D-Day in Greece

Wednesday's predicted to be a good day for Tokyo, Rio and Chicago.

The others? Get ready to pack up and go home.

Doha might just sneak in-barely. But it's going to be a dogfight, and it's going to get nasty, especially if Hein Verbruggen's comments today regarding the Chicago bid are any indication.

My money is still on Tokyo and my previous comments about Chicago being the first one out at Copenhagen's IOC Session next year still stand. This is going to be one bitterly fought battle, and we've been thru it before: city perceived to be the front-runner flames out when the actual voting goes down.

Let the bellyaching begin!
