 “Beijing, Toronto and Paris are the most important cities bidding for the Olympic Games of 2008,” said Richard W. Pound, the IOC’s first vice president(副主席).

“The host city of the Olympic Games of 2008 will be decided at the IOC meeting in Moscow in 2001. Beijing is ready on its way because it nearly becomes the host of the Olympic Games of 2000, and Toronto and Paris also have strong power(竞争力),” said Pound at an IOC meeting.

After ten cities are interested in bidding for the Olympic Games of 2008. They are Beijing, Toronto, and Paris. Some of other cities are Osaka, Havana, Istanbul and Cairo.

For the first time, the host city will be decided without IOC members visiting the places. The bidding scandals(丑闻) of the Salt Lake City have made the IOC find new ways of bidding. That is why the IOC members will not be allowed to visit the bidding cities.
