Election day to choose the place to host the 2016 Olympics is just 2 days away, and Chicago is well represented in Copenhagen. Michelle Obama just arrived today to Copenhagen in hope to impress the voters. And Michelle Obama is not the only high profile person there representing Chicago, Oprah Winfrey is also part of team Chicago.
“This is like a campaign, just like Iowa,” Obama said at a welcome dinner for Chicago 2016 supporters, according to a pool report. “The international community may not understand that, but the I.O.C. is like a caucus. Nobody makes the decision until they’re sitting there.”
Voting starts on Friday and each country gets 70 minutes to make a presentation on why their place should be the one that represents the 2016 games.
