Many countries hoping to host a World Cup find themselves having to build new stadia in order to
meet the strict FIFA standards. Japan, however, only need build an 80,000-seater stadium in which
to hold the 2018 World Cup Final, and there are plans in place to do so. There is a problem,
however - namely that the stadium will only be built if Tokyo wins its bid to host the 2016
Olympics.
Cristiano Ronaldo and superstar sprinter Usain Bolt united in
a press conference announcing that they both endorsed a 2016 Madrid Olympic bid. The endorsement
comes as a huge bonus for Madrid as Bolt was the star on the track at the Summer Olympic Games in
Beijing.
