For some reason, these people have grabbed london2020.co.uk. It seems that, if we don't win today, we're not going to bid twice more, anyway.
Moscow also is hedging its bets: Owner, Moscow2016.ru: State office Sports & Spectaenlar Events Administration. Going for a spectaenlar bid in 2016, then. They won't be going for 2020 though, as a certain Evgeny A Skomorovskiy has the domain.
Louis Gilbert Stanislas of Saint Denis has Paris2016.fr (though not even Paris has Paris2012.fr.) Daniel Flax of Flaxman Productions has NYC2016.com.
And, in a somewhat bizarre twist of twisting, remember how I said yesterday that Madrid proudly had "no plan b"?
Clearly not. I now own Madrid2016.es. This is all far more exciting than the real Olympics...
