VOICED: Madrid, a would-be Olympic city

Madrid is presenting a compact bid for the 2016 Olympics, with most venues within a 10 km radius of the city center. The city boasts a high percentage of ready or under-construction facilities, including a new tennis arena and the famous Santiago Bernabeu stadium. Despite these advantages, Madrid faces challenges such as a weak anti-doping policy and competition from cities like Chicago, Tokyo, and Rio. The Spanish Olympic Committee remains optimistic, believing they are the best candidates, although the presence of U.S. President Barack Obama supporting Chicago adds to the competition.
