I love the Track and Field majesty of the IAAF 2009 Berlin WCs. I can't wait for Los Angeles to get the Olys or WCs ! If Chicago 2016 falls through which many predict I hope L.A. gets the 2020 Olympics. The Los Angeles 1932 Olympics was a great success. The Hollywood media and enterainment industry made the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics into history's first global sports media extravaganza and the model for all subsequent sports productions.

Actually, it's great these days for some solid info and interviews you won't get anywhere, especially here. But for current results, eh, no. Unless you go to their website.
As for L.A. hosting the Olys. No. I live here. The city was already sliding badly in '84. People forget lazy ass Tom Bradley told the IOC NOT to consider L.A. All he did was sit back and hide, while the organizers did a bang up job. Then in the tradition of Coleman Young or other "urban" mayors, Bradley (with help from the media) stood around and acted as if he were the major player in the Games' success.
The city now is a third world dump in most areas, thanks to govt sanctioned illegals pouring in. In case you haven't realized it, the US government has elected a new people. People easily satisfied with lowbrow work and social services. No threat to the types really running the show in DC with their lobby(s) and media control. These are the folks sitting in Beverly Hills or Encino, self deceptive to the end, bragging to each other behind the scenes while publicly scoffing at suggestions of their perfidy. Corporations could probably put on a good show and hide the truth about the town, but considering how filthy and crowded it is here, San Diego would be a better, cleaner choice. Our current mayor has a double digit IQ and is merely an arm that holds a rubber stamp for whatever Eli Broad and his cronies want done. One cringes at the possibilities of the blunders he might commit with the Games here - or at any follow up mayor after this clown, since all that will in the mayor's office from here on out are clones of this piece of snake dung.
Hollywood and L.A. Mayors have always been in cohoots with each other. UCLA T&F's Tom Bradley brought ARCO, the 84 Olympics, and numerous ventures to Los Angeles. Bradley set the mold for sports-city-media cooperation that cities across the world copied after the success of the Los Angeles 1984 Olympic Games.
