CLAY ASSISTS IN CHICAGO OLYMPICS BID
Olympics: IOC inspection team wraps up Chicago visit
Associated Press
CHICAGO — Members of the International Olympic Committee inspection team are finally going to talk about their visit to Chicago.
The team hasn't talked to the media at all since arriving in Chicago to evaluate the city's bid for the 2016 Summer Games and tour the proposed venue sites.
In fact, their visit has been tightly choreographed and it seems like every time they got near news crews there was either someone banging a drum, a band was playing or children were cheering.
But their meetings end Tuesday and in the late afternoon they'll face reporters. And perhaps they'll talk about the city's bid and all the people — from President Obama to Oprah Winfrey to Michael Jordan — who've thrown their support behind the bid.
