As the 2008 Beijing Olympics fade into memory, it appears as if Chicago is the current front-runner for the 2016 bid over Rio, Madrid, and Tokyo thanks, in part, to a low-key approach.
One unnamed IOC source told the Tribune, "It's Chicago's to lose ... If they don't muck it up, they should win."
Chicago 2016 spokesman Patrick Sandusky tried to downplay Chicago as a favorite, saying, "We think it's still far too early in this race to identify any city as the front-runner, with four world-class cities in the race, all with compelling campaigns."
The final vote for the 2016 Olympics will occur on October 2, 2009.
