    Chicago eliminated on first ballot

    The Olympic Committee took it's first vote this morning and dropped Chicago from contention.

    Tokyo, Rio and Madrid remain in the running to host the 2016 Olympics.

    I'm shocked that Chicago went out so fast.

    95 members of the committee voted.  Those who did not vote included 1 NFL hockey player who is in preseason training and a rep from Guinea who could not make the trip to Copenhagen.  Plus, 7 members from countries submitting bids were not allowed to vote, and the Olympic committe chairman does not vote.

    Now that Chicago has been eliminated, U.S. Olympic committee reps will be eligible to vote on the next ballot (s).

    Updated:

    Tokyo is the second city eliminated which leaves Madrid and Rio. 

    And the winner is:  Rio
