Should have been in Toronto. The entire games could have been handled within one arena - from sailing to track. It was a sham to give it to Beijing. But then the pain of living 6 km from the games site would have been similar to Boston's Big Dig.
It will be interesting to see from a logistical/tourist perspective. I suspect that the athletes will ascend to the challenges, while the journalists will harp on the lack of freedoms.
