The International Olympic Committee is only three days away from choosing the site for the 2020 Olympic Games. The three contenders are: Tokyo, Madrid, and Istanbul. According to Wolfgang Maennig, a professor of economics at Hamburg University, Madrid seems to be pulling away at the top due to several potential hazards in the other contending cities. Tokyo faces the threat of possible radiation from the 2011 nuclear disaster, while Istanbul still remains at high civil unrest. Some experts believe that hosting the 2020 Olympics would be prosperous to Istanbul's economy, while others say it would be best for Tokyo with the most stable economy. Madrid however seems to be the most favorable site, and could very well be chosen as the host for the 2020 summer Olympics.
