Istanbul took its decision to bid for the Games a second
time with great commitment. A massive program is already under way, plans
drawn up, sites acquired and foundations laid. Operating from a purpose
built headquarters, the NOC of Turkey and the Bidding Committee, together
with the seriously involved private sector have been fine tuning the application
of new centers of sporting excellence, investing over 120 million US$ in
the last 2 years only. The 2004 Games in Istanbul are destined to be the
best ever.
